Marzipan Mousse With Fruit Compote
- 8 sheets gelatin
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 9/16 pound marzipan almond paste
- 2 1/8 cups heavy cream
- 2 1/2 cups dried apricots chopped
- 7/8 cup raisins
- wine moscatel
- Put the gelatin sheets completely into cold water to soak.
- In a pot, heat the milk to 50 degrees Celsius. Cut in pieces of the marzipan and make smooth with an immersion blender.
- Stir in the soaked and drained gelatin sheets. Turn off the heat and let cool to 30 C.
- While cooling, whip the cream into stiff peaks.
- In about 5 or 6 batches, pour the milk mixture over the whipped cream and fold it in until all the milk is used.
- Line individual serving dishes with plastic wrap. Pour the mousse into each dish.
- Refrigerate until cool then transfer to the freezer for 24 hours.
- The same day you make the mousse, make the fruit compote. Place the apricots and raisins into a pot and add enough wine to completely cover them. Simmer on low heat until the fruit is soft and the wine has reduced.
- Refrigerate the compote for 24 hours.
- The next day, unmold the mousse and top with the fruit compote.
