Good maple syrup is worth having around as a natural sweetener, which goes beyond pancakes! Here the delicate flavor of maple combines with eggs and cream for a simple mousse. Source organic eggs and dairy products.
Ingredients:
- 6 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 3 Egg yolks
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 to 2 teaspoons grated orange peel* optional
- 1 cup heavy cream
Steps/Methods:
Combine syrup, yolks and salt in a double boiler… Whisk constantly until mixture is thick and coats the back of a wooden spoon…this will look like marshmallow cream, and color will become tan and darkened… about 5-7 minutes.
Take care not to overcook this mixture so it doesn't curdle. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla OR orange peel. Place over a bowl of ice if you want to cool this mixture more… but allow to cool.
Whip the cream until firm but not dry peaks form…Once mixture is cool, fold in the cream in two editions.
Refrigerate or freeze in ramekins…if frozen, let sit for 20-30 minutes to soften.
