APRICOT
MOUSSE RECIPE
This recipe
will teach you how to make Apricot Mousse. It is a quick and
easy recipe to make. This is a fantastic tasting mousse to
make. If you can't get fresh apricots you can use dried apricots
by soaking them overnight and then cook them in a small ammount
of the soaking liquid. Decorate your Apricot Mousse with an
apricot half on top and a few flaked almonds or with cream
and almonds on top. My daughters really love this recipe as
it looks and tastes really exquisit.
Apricot
Mousse Ingredients
1/2 pint cream
flaked almonds
4 Tbs cold water
3 eggs separated
3/4 cup castor sugar
1 Tbs apricot brandy
4 1/2 tsp powdered gelatine
1/2 lemon thinly peeled rind and juice
1 lb fresh apricots or 6 oz dried apricots
Apricot
Mousse Method
First thing to do is wash the
apricots and put them in a pan with 1 tablespoon of the water,
lemon peel and 2 ounces of the sugar. Cover and simmer until
tender and then discard the lemon peel and apricot stones.
Sieve apricot pulp to make about 1/2 pint puree then dissolve
gelatine with remaining water in a small bowl over a pan of
hot water. In a large bowl over a pan of hot water put the
egg yolks, remaining castor sugar and lemon juice then whisk
until thick and pale.
Take it off the heat and blend in apricot puree, dissolved
gelatine and apricot brandy then leave in a cold place until
just beginning to set. Whisk cream in a large bowl until it
forms soft peaks then whisk the egg whites in another bowl
until stiff. Fold most of the cream and all the egg whites
into the apricot mixture then pour into a 2 pint glass dish
and leave in a cool place until set. Just before you serve
the Apricot Mousse pipe a small swhirl of remaining cream
on top and decorate with flaked almonds.
Enjoy your freshly made Apricot
Mousse!
