Fast apricot mousse

Time

Preparation time: 20 min.
Rest period: 1 hour
Total preparation time: 1 hr. 20 min.

Inspired by Brandy's strawberry mousse a few days ago, and because we "drown" in apricots, I tried a mousse with apricots:

ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons of orange juice (or apple juice)
  • 4 tablespoons sugar (I always take homemade vanilla sugar)
  • 500 g apricots
  • 1 tbsp ground gelatin (9 g)
  • 250 ml whipped cream
  • Pistachios and / or mint leaves for decoration

preparation

  1. Halve the apricots, remove the core and the stem. The apricots you can, but you do not have skin.
  2. Puree with the sugar.
  3. In a small pot, mix the orange juice with the gelatine, warm slightly, allow to swell.
  4. Add some of the puree first to the gelatine, then stir everything under the mass.
  5. Cool down.
  6. While whipping the whipped cream, lift it under the chilled mass.
  7. Leave to cool for about an hour.
  8. Serve together with apricot compote and mint.

The mousse is also great as a filling for cakes and pies. Then at the end no longer cool, but immediately process, and then only cold.
