👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Bring the fruit, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon to a boil in a pot. Turn down the heat and simmer 15 minutes, until the fruit are completely soft.
    ⚙ SimmeringStovePot
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  2. 2
    Mash into a smooth purée and cool completely.

  3. 3
    Whip' the cold cream with the vanilla' to stiff peaks.
    ⚙ WhippingBowlHand mixerorStand mixerorWhisk
    💡Whip cream very cold, in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, and stop when it holds firm: overwhipping turns it grainy and buttery.
  4. 4
    Fold' the purée' into the whipped cream gently, until the mousse is uniform.
    ⚙ FoldingSilicone spatula
    💡Fold with a spatula, in broad strokes from the bottom up, and stop when there are no streaks: vigorous mixing knocks the air out of the foam. Add whipped mixtures in stages: a quarter first, to lighten the mixture.
  5. 5
    Pour the mousse into glasses, cover and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
