Eggnog Mousse image

Instead of ladling up mugs of traditionally rich yuletide eggnog, try surprising your guests with this frothy mousse and a variety of toppings, such as coffee caramel, chopped toasted hazelnuts, crushed peppermint, and more, from which guests can choose their favorite.

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons dark rum
3 tablespoons brandy
1 envelope unflavored (1 scant tablespoon) gelatin
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Coffee Caramel, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Combine spirits in a small bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin; let soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; whisk until mixture is pale and fluffy, 2 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in gelatin mixture.
  • Set bowl over pan again; cook, whisking, until the gelatin has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer bowl to the ice bath; scrape down sides of bowl, and whisk until cooled slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla. Whisk until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of whipped cream into gelatin mixture, then gently fold gelatin mixture into remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate (no more than 5 minutes) while preparing the egg whites.
  • In a clean bowl of the electric mixer, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream mixture. Transfer to a serving dish; cover. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or overnight. Serve chilled, garnished with coffee caramel and other recommended toppings.

I'm not a big fan of eggnog, but I really enjoyed this mousse. It was light and fluffy, and the eggnog flavor was not overpowering.

This mousse is a great way to use up leftover eggnog. It's also a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before my party and it was still perfect the next day.
