For the Mousse:

2 tbsp powdered sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Edible Cookie Dough

  1. Heat-treat the flour: Spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely. This makes it safe to eat raw.
  2. Mix the dough: In a bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk, then mix until combined.

  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently mix in the mini chocolate chips. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Mousse

  1. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  2. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie dough mixture, a little at a time, until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Serve & Enjoy!

 

  1. Chill & Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Top with extra chocolate chips for garnish.

Notes

 

  • Make it dairy-free: Use plant-based butter, dairy-free chocolate chips, and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
  • For extra texture: Sprinkle crushed cookies or chocolate shavings on top.
  • Heat-treating flour is essential: Raw flour can contain bacteria, so always bake it first.
