Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 ml pure maple syrup
- 4 pieces large egg yolks
- 5 grams unflavored gelatin
- 60 ml water
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly whisk in the maple syrup.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler setup) and cook the egg yolk and maple mixture, whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly and reaches 75°C (about 170°F). This will take approximately 5-7 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled maple syrup mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
Divide the mousse evenly among 6 serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a drizzle of maple syrup, whipped cream, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
