Dreamsicle Mousse
A restaurant copycat recipe for DREAMSICLE.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) cold water
- 1 tsp powdered gelatin
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) boiling water
- 2 oz (57 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp orange zest
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 20 drops liquid stevia
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and gelatin. Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- 2
Then, whisk in the boiling water (you can boil more water for safety and measure out the amount you need). Set the gelatin aside for later.
- 3
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, whip the cream cheese until it is soft, fluffy and lump free. Mix in the vanilla and orange zest.

Transfer the cream cheese into a bowl for later and wipe your mixing bowl clean. With a whip attachment, whip the heavy cream and stevia together until you have a stiff whipped cream.

Then, with the machine running, whip the gelatin mixture into the whipped cream.
- 6
Use a spatula to mix the whipped cream into the cream cheese by hand. Fold the mixture over and over gently until you have a consistent mousse (the only lumps should be the bits of orange zest).
- 7
Immediately transfer the mousse to four 5-ounce (150-ml) ramekins or small cups. You can simply spoon the mousse into the cups or use a piping bag for a more creative look.

Wrap the dishes in plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before enjoying.
