Instructions
Prepare Gelatin
In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder with water. Let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Blooming gelatin ensures it dissolves smoothly.
Heat Maple Syrup
In a saucepan, heat the maple syrup over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Pro tip: Do not let the syrup boil to prevent altering its flavour.
Dissolve Gelatin
Remove the syrup from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Pro tip: Ensure there are no gelatin lumps.
Cool Syrup Mixture
Allow the maple syrup mixture to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Whip Cream
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Pro tip: Chilling the bowl helps the cream whip more effectively.
Combine Ingredients
Gently fold the cooled maple syrup mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
Pro tip: Fold carefully to maintain the mousse's light texture.
Chill the Mousse
Divide the mousse into serving glasses and chill for at least 2 hours or until set.
Pro tip: Chilling allows the mousse to firm up properly.
Tips & Tricks
