Indulge in this rich, velvety Vanilla Cream Cheese Mousse that's perfect for any occasion and easy to make at home!

1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

2

While the gelatin blooms, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

3

Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.

4

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.

5

Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds until melted, then allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the cream cheese mixture.

6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three additions until fully combined and smooth. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

7

Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.

8

If desired, prepare a topping by melting additional chocolate or making a fruit coulis to serve over the mousse before serving.
