WHITE RUSSIAN MOUSSE RECIPE

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: whipping cream

Coconut cream offers a dairy-free option with similar texture.

Kahlua

🥗Healthier: coffee liqueur

💰Cheaper: homemade coffee syrup

Homemade syrup can mimic the flavor at a lower cost.

gelatin

🥗Healthier: agar-agar

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Agar-agar is plant-based while cornstarch can thicken without gelatin.

vodka

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic vodka

💰Cheaper: grain alcohol

Non-alcoholic options provide flavor without alcohol.

Get a microwave-safe bowl and add 180 to 200 g of good quality white chocolate.

Add 2 tablespoons of vodka and 2 tablespoons of Tia Maria to the bowl.

Microwave for 30 seconds on high, then stir and repeat until fully melted.

Let the melted chocolate cool for about 5 minutes.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cooled chocolate and stir through.

Add 2 egg yolks to the mixture and stir well.

Transfer the mixture into a larger bowl.

Get 1 cup of whipping cream and whip it until thick.

Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until combined.

Beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add 1/4 cup of sugar while beating until stiff peaks form.

Fold half of the meringue into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining meringue until combined.

Divide the mousse mixture among serving bowls or glasses.

Refrigerate for about 4 hours to chill and set.
