Ingredients

Apricot Mousse:

For 500 g of pitted apricots
(Bergeron fully ripe if possible)
Syrup
30 cl of water
150 g sugar
1 lemon juice
25 cl of liquid cream (30%)
2 sheets of gelatin soaked in cold water
a little Maraschino or Grand-Marnier
(if there are no children)

Step-by-step directions

1- Bring the water, sugar and alcohol to boil, then at boiling point add your apricots and let cook gently for 10 minutes.

2- Then drain the apricot pulp and strain your juice through a chinois (strainer) then let cool completely.

3- In a large bowl, pour the cold juice (keeping 2 tablespoons aside), and the liquid cream, into the freezer for 8 minutes.

4- In a saucepan, pour the 2 tablespoons of syrup set aside, then over very low heat mix your drained gelatin sheets then when they have melted pour this gelatinous juice into a bowl and let cool in the open air.

5- In a large bowl, blend your apricots then add your cooled gelatin and set aside.

6- Take your cream bowl out of the freezer and whip it into firm whipped cream.

7- Then gradually pour your whipped cream into your apricot pulp by cutting and lifting with a wooden spatula or maryse as you would for a soufflé.
You can mold this lovely mousse into beautiful glasses, small ramekins, a large mold or a lovely bowl and serve after at least 4 hours in the fridge
