- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (45 grams) mini chocolate chips
- Extra mini chocolate chips
- Chocolate shavings or drizzle
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Flour Preparation: Spread flour on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 minutes, then allow to cool completely, eliminating potential bacteria.
- Base Creation: Whip cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and airy, creating a smooth foundational texture for the mousse.
- Sweetening Process: Introduce powdered sugar gradually, blending thoroughly to ensure a silky-smooth consistency without any granular remnants.
- Flavor Infusion: Incorporate vanilla extract and brown sugar, stirring until the mixture becomes uniformly creamy and rich with depth of flavor.
- Flour Integration: Fold the heat-treated flour into the mousse base, mixing gently to maintain the delicate texture and prevent overmixing.
- Chocolate Incorporation: Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the mousse, distributing them evenly to create pockets of chocolatey delight in every spoonful.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate the mousse for a minimum of 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to become perfectly chilled and firm.
- Final Presentation: Garnish with additional chocolate chips and a light sprinkle of flour just before serving, creating an elegant and inviting dessert that showcases the unique preparation method.
Notes
- Prevent Bacterial Risks: Heat-treat flour thoroughly by spreading it evenly on a baking sheet and roasting at 350°F for exactly 5 minutes, ensuring complete cooling to eliminate potential food-safety hazards.
- Achieve Smooth Texture: Cream cream cheese and butter at room temperature until ultra-light and fluffy, using an electric mixer to prevent lumps and create a silky base for the mousse.
- Careful Folding Technique: Incorporate chocolate chips gently and sparingly, using a spatula with light, sweeping motions to maintain the mousse’s delicate, airy consistency without deflating the mixture.
- Optimal Chilling Strategy: Refrigerate the mousse for minimum 1-2 hours before serving, covering with plastic wrap to prevent moisture absorption and allow flavors to develop fully, resulting in a more intense and harmonious dessert experience.
