Ingredients
- 200 ml pure maple syrup
- 4 pieces large egg yolks
- 5 grams unflavored gelatin
- 60 ml water
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly whisk in the maple syrup.
Step 3
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler setup) and cook the egg yolk and maple mixture, whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly and reaches 75°C (about 170°F). This will take approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled maple syrup mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
Step 7
Divide the mousse evenly among 6 serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Step 8
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a drizzle of maple syrup, whipped cream, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
