Dreamy Pastel Mousse Cups are light, fluffy, and visually stunning layered desserts, perfect for parties and spring celebrations. These colorful mousse cups combine sweet flavors and soft pastel shades to delight both eyes and taste buds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (pink, blue, purple, yellow – pastel shades)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until creamy.
  3. Add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Divide the mousse evenly into 4 bowls. Add a drop of food coloring to each bowl to create pastel pink, blue, purple, and yellow shades. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Layer the different colored mousse into small cups or dessert glasses, creating a rainbow or ombré effect.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
  9. Top with whipped topping and decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • You can use gel food coloring for more vibrant pastel tones.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of powdered sugar.
  • These mousse cups can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
