French Vanilla Flavors

If you love mousse, this easy French Vanilla Mousse will be fun to make. To me, French vanilla has a much more intense vanilla flavor that is hard to beat. I did use a vanilla bean in this recipe. You just need to scrape the seeds and add them into the whipped cream. You can also use vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract.

I have to admit, I almost feel guilty sharing this mousse recipe with you. This creamy mousse is so easy to make, it only has 3 simple ingredients. You may consider pinning this recipe now so you don’t lose track of where you saw it :-).

How do you thicken mousse without gelatin?

For this recipe, I  didn’t want to use gelatin.  The best way to thicken mousse without gelatin is to make sure your whipped cream forms stiff peaks when you whip it.

How long do you refrigerate mousse?

I recommend you refrigerate this mousse for at least two hours. You can put it into the freezer for 45 minutes to one hour if you would like it to chill faster.
