Spinach Mousse

Ingredients

• 300 g heavy whipping cream • 40 g sugar

• 2 large egg yolks • 200 g white baking chocolate 

• 500 g spinach • 5 ml vanilla • 1 gelatin sheet

• 15 g shaved almonds

Method              

Boiling the spinach

Clean, wash the spinach and keep the leaves only. Heat a pan with water and as it simmers add the spinach leaves. After 3-4 minutes, as the spinach is done, remove and place on ice so it retains its colour. Put it on a cotton cloth to remove the moisture and make a puree.

For the mousse

Place a mixing bowl on top of a hot water bath and mix some dairy cream, sugar, and whisk a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks. Add all to a pan, whisking constantly. Whip the cream, and mix the spinach puree along with melted chocolate, vanilla and gelatin, which is soaked. Pour this into a dish/tray.

Garnish

Melt some sugar for caramel and pour it on a Sil-Pad to cool, also add some shaved almonds. As it cools, garnish on the mousse and serve chilled.
