👨‍🍳 Method

    Blender
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Add the gelatin to the purée and mix well.
  4. 4
    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. 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. 6
    Pour the mousse into glasses, cover and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
