Melt-in-your-mouth Kuri Kabocha Squash Mousse
- 100 grams Kabocha squash
- 1 Egg yolk
- 100 ml Milk
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 40 grams Sugar
- 1 dash Cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp Powdered gelatin
- 1 1/2 tbsp Water
- Soak the gelatin in water.
- Put the egg yolk and sugar in a bowl.
- (If possible, warm the bowl over a water bath.)
- Whip until white and thick.
- Heat the milk in the microwave until it's just about to boil.
- Add to the bowl from Step 2 and mix well.
- Rinse the kabocha squash.
- Wrap in plastic wrap without patting it dry, and microwave for 3 minutes to soften.
- Peel, and weigh out 100 g.
- Put the egg mixture from Step 3, the kabocha squash, and the cinnamon powder into a blender.
- Blend until smooth, and transfer to a bowl.
- Microwave the gelatin for 15 seconds to dissolve.
- Add to the bowl from Step 5 and mix well.
- Chill the bowl in a bowl of ice cold water or in the fridge.
- Remove the bowl from the ice cold water (or take it out of the fridge) when the gelatin begins to harden and the mixture becomes thick.
- It should be as thick as a potage soup.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until thick and creamy.
- Whip until slightly more airy than the mixture from Step 7.
- Add the whipped cream to the bowl from Step 7, and mix until everything is evenly blended.
- When mixed, pour into a container and chill in the fridge.
- For best results, chill for minimum 3 hours.
- Scoop with a large spoon to serve.
