My idea of a great recipe: easy, delicious, quick, and impressive looking. Usually, you can’t get so lucky as to meet all those criteria. This is a great recipe!   Chocolate or Coffee Liqueur or both pair well with this dessert. Serve it on the side in a small glass, or swirl it into the mousse for a grown up treat. Make this into a decadent and striking two-layer treat by piping chocolate mousse on the bottom of a cup and this mousse on top. Rim your glass by dipping it in a shallow dish of water, then sugar crystals.

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds whipped cream cheese

  • 1 cup dulce de leche

In Israel, it is called “Rebat Chalav”, it is a dairy caramel cream. (My husband looked up rebat chalav on the google and it gave us dolce de leche as a translation. I don’t know if it has another name in English).

No, dulce de leche is a traditional Argentinian dessert made by caramelizing sugar in milk. You can buy it or make it homemade.
