Instead of ice cream, make this rich dish for your guests this summer. With a prep time of only 30 minutes, this cooling alternative will wow with its intense vanilla flavor, fluffy consistency and super smooth texture. Don your lederhosen, bust out the tuba and say “Guten Tag” to this season’s simple yet decadent dessert.

 

Ingredients:

4 gelatin leaves

100g sugar

1 vanilla bean

250ml milk

250ml cream

4 eggs

Ice cubes

 

Preparation:

1) Put the gelatin leaves in a bowl filled with warm water and soak until soft.

2) Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Discard the egg whites.

3) Put the egg yolks in a stainless steel bowl. Add the sugar to the yolk. Beat until foamy.

4) Whip the cream in a separate cup until stiff and set aside.

5) Cut open the vanilla bean lengthwise and grate the vanilla pith into the milk. Afterwards throw the empty vanilla bean into the milk. Slightly heat, but do not cook the milk.

6) Remove the vanilla bean. Pour the milk into the bowl of egg yolks and sugar. Place the bowl in a hot water bath. Use a hand mixer to beat the milk on the lowest level until it turns into mousse.

7) Squeeze the gelatin leaves and dissolve in the hot mousse.

8) Place the bowl of mousse in a water bath with cold water and ice cubes. Stir until it begins to gelatinize.

9) Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled mass.

10) Place the mousse in several small glasses. Garnish with fresh fruits and serve.
