Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml pure maple syrup
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple sugar or finely crushed cookies (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the maple syrup and egg yolks until well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Do not allow it to boil, as this may curdle the egg yolks.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir the bloomed gelatin into the hot maple mixture until fully dissolved. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled maple mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Divide the mousse evenly among four serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of maple sugar or crushed cookies, if desired. Enjoy!
