Frozen Mousse Hearts with Mirror Glaze
This frozen mousse hearts with mirror glaze recipe is so cute and delicious! And the best part is that it's pretty easy too!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsps of cold water
- 7 grams of unflavored gelatin
- 3½ cups of strawberries or raspberries
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup whipping cream
- ¼ cup Nutella
Mirror glaze
- 2 tbsp of unflavored gelatin, hydrated in ½ cup of cold water
- ½ cup condensed milk
- 1 cup sugar
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tsp clear vanilla extract
- 12 oz of white chocolate chips
- Gel food colorings
Instructions
Frozen mousse
- Cut the strawberries and hydrate the gelatin in cold water.
- Put the strawberries in a pot with sugar and let them boil little by little until it becomes semi-jelly. Now, strain to keep the liquid and add the hydrated gelatin. Then, cool down this liquid for a while.
- When the jam mix is at room temperature, take a pre-chilled bowl and whip cold heavy cream at the highest speed.
- After the cream rises, stop whipping and add the jam slowly. Mix with a spat in folding movements until the jelly and the cream integrate.
- Put the mix in a mold. Fill the mold halfway and pat it against a surface, so that it releases trapped air.
- Add a tablespoon of Nutella in the center and finish the mousse with more mix. Finish by smoothing the surface out.
- Put the mousse hearts in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Mirror glaze
- About half an hour before mousses are ready, start making the famous mirror glaze.
- Hydrate gelatin again, just like before. While it's hydrating, prepare the rest of the glaze.
- Add condensed milk, sugar, vanilla, and water in a medium-sized pot on medium heat. Then mix, and when the gelatin is firmer, add it to the liquid and mix until it's completely dissolved. Now, remove the mix from the heat.
- Add white chocolate and melt it with the mix slowly and gently. Here avoid mixing it too much to prevent letting in the air.
- Separate the mixture into two containers to make two colors of glaze.
- You can use your favorite colors. For instance, I picked red and pink. Here use gel coloring so that the texture doesn't change. Now, let the glaze cool for a bit because they need to be at room temperature. Between 93 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit, so it works better.
- After a while, check them. If the temperature is correct, take the mold out of the freezer and remove each mousse carefully.
- Put the mousses in a rack that has waxed paper below. Then, glaze the mousse. Now, wait a bit before pouring a second layer. You can make a different design in this step.
- Stick the mousse hearts in the fridge before serving for at least 15 minutes. You can also cool them at room temperature for 30 minutes if you have spare time.
- Then, you'll only want to gift these beautiful mousse hearts to your loved ones! -or indulge yourself ;)
