Frozen Mousse

Apricot Lemongrass Consomme

Method

Frozen Mousse

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 4 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar together until soft peaks form.

  3. 3

    Mix the Citrus

    In another bowl, mix the lemon juice and lime zest together.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Warm the gelatin mixture slightly in the microwave until it is fully dissolved, then quickly mix it into the lemon-lime mixture. Fold this into the whipped cream gently until well combined.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Transfer the mousse into a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until set.

Lime Cake Crumbles

  1. 6

    Prepare the Crumbles

    Crumble the lime cake into small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.

  2. 7

    Add Butter and Sugar

    Melt the butter and pour it over the crumbled cake. Add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and crumbly in texture.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly crisp. Let cool.

Apricot Lemongrass Consomme

  1. 9

    Prepare the Lemongrass

    Slice the lemongrass stalks into small pieces to release their flavor.

  2. 10

    Simmer the Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the dried apricots, sliced lemongrass, and water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes until the apricots are tender.

  3. 11

    Blend and Strain

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to obtain a clear consomme.

  4. 12

    Sweeten

    Stir in honey while the consomme is still warm, adjusting to taste. Chill before serving.
