Ingredients

Scale
  • 250g cream cheese or mascarpone

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese or mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip cream to soft peaks.

  • Let chocolate cool slightly before layering.
  • Optional: crush a Giotto into the mousse for extra flavor inside.
