Frozen Vanilla Mousse (Schiumone)
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
- Line six 3-inch muffin or custard cups with paper cupcake liners.
- In the top of a double boiler or a stainless steel mixing bowl set over a pot of simmering water (do not let the water touch the bottom of the bowl), whisk together the egg whites and sugar.
- Continue to whisk gently until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm to the touch (test it with a clean finger).
- Remove from the heat and, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture until white and fluffy and completely cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream and vanilla and, with the same beaters, whip until soft peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the beaten egg whites until completely incorporated, then fold in the almonds.
- Spoon the schiumone into the prepared cups and freeze for at least 3 hours.
