Light & Fluffy No Bake Nutella Mousse (4 servings)
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream or 2 cups/8 oz store-bought whipped topping
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar adjust for sweetness
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder optional for richer chocolate flavor
- ⅓ cup Nutella Hazelnut Spread or more to taste
Optional Toppings
- Chopped hazelnuts
- Chocolate shavings or curls
- Drizzle of warmed Nutella
- Ferrero Rocher candy for garnish
Pour heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. (If using whipped topping, skip this step.)
Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder to the whipped cream, then gently mix to combine.
Add Nutella and continue mixing until the mousse becomes light, creamy, and fluffy.
Spoon or pipe the mousse into small bowls, glasses, or dessert cups.
Garnish with chopped hazelnuts, chocolate curls, or a drizzle of Nutella.
Chill for 30 minutes before serving if you prefer a firmer texture.
-
Make sure the Nutella is soft and spreadable. Microwave it for 15–20 seconds if it’s too thick.
-
For a lighter texture, gently fold Nutella into the whipped cream instead of beating it in.

Add a teaspoon of espresso powder for a mocha-style Nutella mousse.
