Vanilla Mousse (Egg Yolk Glaze Base)

Recipe by Maddie Brehm

A light, airy vanilla mousse made with a silky egg‑yolk glaze (on‑glaze) and folded with softly‑whipped cream. The gelatin gives just enough stability for serving in jars or as a molded cake. Perfect for a elegant dessert that can be topped with fresh berries, fruit compote, or chocolate crumbs.

Critical Success Points

  • Bloom the gelatin fully
  • Temper the egg yolk mixture correctly to avoid curdling
  • Cook the glaze to exactly 83 °C – not higher
  • Cool the glaze to 30‑35 °C before folding in whipped cream
  • Fold gently to retain air

Safety Warnings

  • The on‑glaze reaches >80 °C – handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Use a thermometer to prevent over‑cooking the custard.
  • Gelatin is derived from animal collagen – keep out of reach of children.
