Description
A delightful Vanilla Bean Mousse Cake with a creamy mousse and rich vanilla flavor, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups Crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla bean paste
- 1 tablespoon Unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the mousse.
- In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, and egg yolks over medium heat until thickened. Be careful not to boil; instead, look for a custard-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine gelatin with cold water and let it sit until it blooms. Then gently stir it into the warm custard mixture.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold it into the custard mixture until well combined.
- Pour the mousse over the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or until set.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for better results. Whip the cream just until stiff peaks form to avoid graininess.
