Vanilla Bean Mousse | Simple Anglaise Based Mousse Recipe

This is one of three basic, easy mousse recipes I want to explore with you to set the foundation for some more intricate mousse recipes and entremets I want to make with you in the future! If you missed the first tutorial about basic chocolate mousse, click here to get caught up: Vanilla Bean Mousse 70g Whole Milk 60g + 200g Cream Vanilla Paste, to taste (or one vanilla bean) 60g Sugar 80g Egg Yolks 4g Gelatin (see note) 1. Bloom the gelatin in ice water then squeeze out any extra moisture. 2. Combine the milk, 60g cream and vanilla in a small saucepan and place on medium low heat. 3. Whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a small bowl and set aside. 4. When the milk mixture comes to a scald, temper it into the egg yolks and mix to combine. 5. Transfer everything back into the saucepan and cook on medium low or low heat, whisking continuously, until the anglaise reaches 82-83 degrees Celsius (179-181 Fahrenheit). 6. Remove the anglaise from the heat and immediately add in the bloomed gelatin. 7. Emulsify the anglaise using an immersion blender and pour the anglaise into a large bowl. 8. Whip the remaining 200g cream to a soft or medium soft peak. 9. When the anglaise is between 32-35 Celsius (90-95 Fahrenheit) begin adding the whipped cream into the anglaise in about three additions. 10. Use a piping bag or ladle to transfer the mousse into whatever container or mold you want to use, then refrigerate the mousse for at least four hours before serving. 11. If you are using this mousse in a mold, transfer the mousse filled mold into the freezer for four hours or overnight before unmolding. Note: If you are only using this mousse as a verrine or in a cup, you can keep the gelatin at 4g or even reduce it to 3g! If you want to use this mousse for a cut cake or molded cake, you might want to increase the gelatin to 5g to make sure it is sturdy enough for any inserts or glazes you might want to use.

Final Notes: If you don't use or understand grams, please use an online measurement conversion tool! Personally I think that recipes should be measured the way they are created, and I prefer the precise nature of using gram measurement Check out my Amazon Influencer Storefront! https://www.amazon.com/shop/maddiebrehm I have lists of all the common ingredients and brands I use, packaging I use, tools I use etc. (Please note that I do earn a commission when items are purchased.)
