Ingredients

• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 inches Fresh ginger
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 large Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger. Add it to a small saucepan with the heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scalding.

Step 2

Once the cream begins to simmer, remove the saucepan from heat and let the ginger steep in the cream for 15 minutes to infuse its flavor. Strain the cream through a sieve to remove the ginger slices, then let the cream cool completely in the refrigerator.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with the cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until it becomes spongy.

Step 4

Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or on the stovetop until it dissolves completely (about 10 seconds in the microwave). Set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the chilled ginger-infused cream with the granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Slowly pour in the dissolved gelatin while continuing to beat the cream, mixing until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until glossy stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the ginger cream mixture in three additions. Be careful not to deflate the mixture as you fold.

Step 8

Add the vanilla extract and give the mousse a final gentle fold to combine evenly.

Step 9

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 10

Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of grated ginger, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
