Mustard Mousse image

A wonderful accompaniment, to Easter ham, or anything else that would be complimented by a light mustard-y flavor and an attractive presentation. For a sit-down meal, you might also prepare this in small, individual cups or molds. Adapted from Cookery For Entertaining.

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons dijon-style mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 pint whipping cream, whipped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the gelatin over the lemon juice and let it stand for about 5 minutes to soften.
  • In a medium-size saucepan whisk the eggs and add the sugar, mustard, salt, vinegar and water. Beat until well blended.
  • Add the softened gelatin mixture.
  • Place the saucepan over moderate heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken;do not allow the mixture to boil.
  • Refrigerate until the mixture is thickened and almost set, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula to determine thickness (the mixture should make soft mounds when scooped up and dropped from the spatula). Meanwhile, oil a 4-cup mold and set it aside.
  • When the gelatin/mustard mixture has thickened, gently fold the whipped cream and parsley into the thickened mixture.
  • Pour the mousse into the prepared mold, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to set. May be refrigerated up to 3 days.
  • To unmold, run the tip of table knife around the edges of the mold, dip the bottom of the mold in warm water and invert onto a serving platter. I use a Tupperware mold, so it just slips right out.
