Ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup cold milk
1 packet vanilla pudding mix or custard powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by pouring the cold milk into a mixing bowl and add the pudding mix or custard powder. Whisk until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks. This step is important because it gives the mousse its light and airy texture. Once the cream is whipped, gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, mixing in slow motions so the cream does not lose its volume. Add the vanilla extract and continue folding until everything is fully combined. Now take the prepared pudding mixture and slowly add it to the creamy mixture, folding carefully to keep the mousse fluffy. Make sure the texture becomes uniform, thick, and smooth.
Pour the mousse into cups, bowls, or small jars. Smooth the tops and place the containers in the refrigerator for at least three hours, allowing the mousse to set and become even creamier. Serve cold for the best texture. If you prefer an even richer consistency, let it chill overnight. This mousse stores well in the refrigerator for up to three days and can be used as a filling for cakes, pastries, or layered desserts.
