Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (finely chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
While the gelatin is blooming, whip the heavy cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly but not to the point of re-solidifying.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and the dissolved gelatin until smooth and fully combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mustard mixture in 2-3 additions, ensuring the mousse stays light and airy.
In a separate bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, whisk the egg whites with the salt and sugar until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mustard mixture in small batches, maintaining the volume and airy texture.
Spoon the mustard mousse into individual serving dishes or ramekins, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and additional flavor. Serve cold.
