Cuisine : European Course : Dessert Skill Level : Novice
Prep : 10 mins Cook : 140 mins Ready in : 150 mins Serves : 6-8 Servings


INGREDIENTS:

  • Mousse
    • 100g Cream 35% fat
    • 200g Whole Milk
    • 5g Salt
    • 4 Egg Yolk
    • 20g Sugar
    • 10g Cornstarch (2 ½ tsp)
    • 2g Gelatine (1 leave)
    • 250g Whipped Cream
  • Crunchy Almonds
    • 100g Almond Flakes
    • 2 tbsp Icing Sugar
    • 2 tbsp Egg White

DIRECTIONS FOR MOUSSE

  1. Rehydrate gelatine in cold water.
  2. In a large pan, melt sugar on medium heat until caramelized. Don’t use a spatula or spoon; just move the pan from time to time in order to melt it.
  3. Heat cream in a small jug in microwave or in a small pan.
  4. Out of Heat! Add in hot cream to the caramel and wait until the temperature choc passes, then add milk (room temperature) – put back on fire and using a wooden spoon, bring to a boil until all the caramel has dissolved – add an extra pinch of salt if you wish.
