Standard mousse
Expansion when whipped
Technique
Sprinkle the gelatin onto the smaller portion of apricot purée (40°F or 4°C), then leave it for 15 to 20 minutes until it is hydrated.
Heat the mixture to between 120 and 140°F (50 and 60°C) so that the gelatin melts, then combine it with the second portion of purée (40°F or 4°C). Homogenize with a mixer.
Combine approximately one third of the fruit purée with the Italian meringue, then start mixing with a whisk to assimilate their textures.
Add the rest of the fruit purée, fold it in with a spatula and finish off by gently adding the whipped cream in such a way that the mix remains light and frothy.
Pour immediately.
