Preparation Steps

• Add the Nutella to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add 0.25 cup of the heavy whipping cream. Heat in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds until hot and starting to bubble.
• Carefully pour the hot cream over the Nutella. Let sit for 1 minute to soften, then stir until smooth and combined. Let cool to room temperature.
• Pour the remaining heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer, whip on low to high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the cooled Nutella mixture. Repeat with the next third and then the remaining whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
• Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Top with additional whipped cream if desired and serve chilled.
