Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • flexible spatula
  • Loaf pan

Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Use cold for optimal whipping
  • 3 large Eggs Ensure they are fresh
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens and lowers freezing point
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Substitute with high-quality vanilla extract if unavailable

For Customization

Instructions
 

Method

  • In a heatproof bowl, gently whisk the eggs and sugar over simmering water until pale and fluffy, about 6-8 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks to maintain a light texture.
  • Carefully fold the egg custard into the whipped cream, maintaining the airy texture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a lined loaf pan and freeze until solid, about 6 hours or overnight.
  • Slice and serve directly from the freezer, optionally drizzling with chocolate sauce or topping with fresh fruit.

Notes

Allow the mousse to soften slightly before slicing for easier serving.
