Recipe Resume in Todd Wilbur’s Style:
This Dulce de Leche Mousse is the perfect combination of light and airy texture with deep, rich caramel flavor. The secret? A velvety blend of whipped cream, dulce de leche, and just a hint of vanilla, creating a dessert that’s decadent yet impossibly fluffy.
It’s quick and easy to make, requiring only 4 ingredients and a few minutes of prep. Serve it chilled, topped with a sprinkle of sea salt or a drizzle of extra dulce de leche, and get ready to fall in love with every spoonful.
Exciting Story:
I still remember the first time I made Dulce de Leche Mousse. I had an extra can of dulce de leche sitting in my pantry, and instead of spooning it straight into my mouth (which, let’s be honest, I considered), I decided to whip it into something even better.
After a few tweaks—folding in whipped cream, adding a touch of vanilla, and letting it chill—the result was absolute heaven. My family took one bite and immediately demanded I make it again… and again. Now, this mousse is a staple in our dessert rotation, and honestly? I’m not mad about it.

Dulce de Leche Mousse
Description
This Dulce de Leche Mousse is the perfect combination of light and airy texture with deep, rich caramel flavor. The secret? A velvety blend of whipped cream, dulce de leche, and just a hint of vanilla, creating a dessert that’s decadent yet impossibly fluffy.
Ingredients
For the Mousse:
- 1 cup (250g) dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups (375ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, but enhances the flavor!)
For Garnish (Optional but Amazing!):
- Extra dulce de leche, for drizzling
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
- Crushed cookies (Biscoff, graham crackers, or shortbread)
- Toasted nuts (pecans or almonds)
Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Cream
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 2: Fold in the Dulce de Leche
- In a separate bowl, mix the dulce de leche, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche mixture, working carefully to keep it light and airy.
Step 3: Chill & Serve
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, drizzle with extra dulce de leche, and add your favorite garnishes.
