Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Caviar
- 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, gently heat the gelatin mixture over low heat until dissolved completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Whisk or use a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fold the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Gently fold in 75 grams of the caviar and the chopped chives, being careful not to break the caviar pearls for a better texture.
Transfer the mixture into a serving dish, ramekins, or a mold of your choice. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the mousse is firm and well-chilled.
Before serving, optionally garnish the mousse with the remaining caviar for a beautiful presentation.
Serve with crackers, toast points, or endive leaves for a luxurious appetizer.
