Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Reduced-sodium powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Low-sodium powdered sugar
- 0 as desired Fresh fruit or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the reduced-sodium powdered gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 2
In the meantime, pour 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream into a small saucepan and heat over low heat until it is warm but not boiling.
Step 3
Add the bloomed gelatin to the saucepan with the heated cream and stir gently until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and low-sodium powdered sugar. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the ingredients on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Step 5
Turn the mixer speed to low and gradually pour in the cooled gelatin mixture. Once incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
Step 6
Divide the mousse evenly among four serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with fresh fruit or mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your low-sodium vanilla mousse!
