What Is Mousse? 

Traditionally a French recipe, a mousse is a type of soft food that can be made either savory or sweet but always contain an airy texture. They can range from being light and fluffy to creamy and thick depending on the ingredients used, but they’re also smooth and beaten to a stiff peak. Most often, mousse recipes are served cold, and sweet varieties can often be found frozen as well. 

What Is Biscoff? 

A Biscoff is a sweet and crumbly cookie that is often served with coffee or tea. They were originally made in a bakery in Lembeke, Belgium. However, in recent years, they have exploded in popularity and have even been turned into a smooth peanut butter-like spread! For good reason, too. Not only are the cookies made with natural ingredients, but they’re also sweet in flavor with hints of caramel and utterly delicious. Clearly, we’re huge fans and do our best to incorporate these tasty cookies into as many recipes as we can! 

What Does This Recipe for Mousse Consist Of? 

This Biscoff mousse recipe is so simple it’s almost embarrassing. All you need is heavy cream and Biscoff spread! Seriously, that’s it. Of course, we like to add extra crumbled Biscoff cookies on top, but that’s totally optional. This might be the easiest dessert you ever make. 

How to Make Biscoff Mousse

Given its beautiful appearance and French name, mousse can be intimidating to make, but we’re letting the secret out of the bag. It couldn’t be easier to make! 

1. Add the ingredients to a large bowl. 
2. Using a hand mixer or electric stand mixer, beat the ingredients until they’re smooth and medium peaks begin to form. *Do not over beat or the mixture will separate.
3. Then, add the mousse to a small bowl or glass jar, and smooth extra Biscoff spread on top. 
4. Place your mousse in the fridge to chill.
5. Sprinkle extra Biscoff cookies on top, and enjoy! 

Tips to Avoid Curdling

 To prevent curdling and achieve the perfect mousse here are some tips:

• Use cold heavy cream: Start with well-chilled heavy cream. It’s important that the cream is cold to facilitate better whipping and reduce the risk of curdling.
• Cold equipment: Ensure that your mixing bowl and beaters or whisk are also cold. You can chill them in the freezer for a short while before whipping the cream.
• Avoid overwhipping: Over-whipping heavy cream can lead to curdling. Whip just until soft or medium peaks form, depending on your desired consistency. Soft peaks have a slightly drooping tip, while stiff peaks stand upright. We prefer to stop at a medium peak. After it is refrigerated it will continue to set.
• Be patient: Whipping cream takes time, especially if you’re doing it by hand or with a lower-speed mixer. Avoid the temptation to speed up the process by increasing the mixer speed too quickly. Gradually increase the speed to reach the desired consistency.
• Be mindful of room temperature: Avoid whipping cream in a warm room or on a hot day. High temperatures can cause the fat in the cream to melt, leading to curdling. Keep your environment cool if possible.

What Do I Do If My Mousse Is Runny?

First, make sure to take your time beating the ingredients. If stiff peaks do not form then it will not stay thick and fluffy like we want it to. However, if you do this and your mousse still has a slightly runny consistency, try incorporating about 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch into the mixture, and whip again until smooth. 

Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time? 

Yes! Once formed, mousse can be stored covered in the fridge for 3-4 days. However, we recommend leaving the cookie pieces off until just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
