Light and Creamy Mousse: An Easy and Delicious Recipe
Ingredients
Fresh or canned pineapple 200 g
Sweetened condensed milk 1 can (397 g)
Whole liquid cream (cold) 200 ml
Lemon juice (optional) 2 tablespoons
Gelatin or agar-agar 1 sachet (or 6 g)
Instructions
1. Pineapple preparation
If using fresh pineapple, cut it into pieces and blend until smooth.
If using canned pineapple, drain the syrup well to prevent the mixture from being too liquid.
2. Mousse preparation
Hydrate the gelatin in a little cold water for 5 minutes.
Heat the pineapple puree slightly and add the gelatin to dissolve it completely. Let cool.
In a bowl, whip the cold liquid cream with an electric mixer until you obtain a firm whipped cream.
Gently incorporate the sweetened condensed milk and the cooled pineapple puree into the whipped cream using a spatula.
Add the lemon juice for a touch of acidity if desired.
3. Dressing and resting
Pour the mousse into verrines, a salad bowl or a mold.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so that it sets perfectly.
Tips for a Successful Mousse
Use very cold ingredients to whip the cream easily.
Add a few pieces of pineapple or lemon zest to decorate.
For an even lighter version, replace the sweetened condensed milk with plain yogurt.
