Apple mousse
Posted by Marit on May 14, 2008
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? But sometimes I get sick of eating just an apple every day. It gets boring. So I tried apples in a mousse. Simple, pretty light and perfect in a hot summer day. Should be suitable for WW as well (maybe cut down on sugar a bit though).
Anyway, here’s a recipe for four:
450 g apples 1.5 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp grate lemon rind 3 tbsp sugar 2-3 tbsp water 2 eggs, separated grated chocolate to serve# Place peeled and chopped apples with lemon juice and lemon rind into a heavy saucepan.
# Add sugar and water, stir and simmer at low heat until apples are soft. It took about 10 minutes. Mix in egg yolks and let cool.
# Beat egg whites until stiff. Carefully fold into the apple-mix.
# Pour into dessert glasses, top with some grated chocolate and serve immediately.
You can’t see the apples at all. But they are there and you’ll feel them under your teeth. This nice mousse goes very well with soft apples actually. J only commented that “its like eating air”. But what does he knows. I think it was tasty and healthy. Five points. This will be one of those staple desserts that I will rely on when I want something quick, light, but decadent.
