StoveSmall saucepan

Whip' the cold cream' 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.
5
Fold' the purée' into the whipped cream gently, until the mousse is uniform.
⚙ FoldingSilicone spatula
💡Cool the gelatin mixture before folding: a warm mixture melts the whipped cream, and the mousse comes out dense instead of airy.
💡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.
6
Pour the mousse into glasses, cover and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
