Light Mousse Cake with Peach
- 200 grams Double cream
- 400 grams, drained Peach compote https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/149490-peach-compote
- 40 grams Sugar (fine granulated sugar)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Peach liqueur or any liqueur you like
- 10 grams Gelatin Powder
- 60 ml Syrup from the peach compote
- 1/2 Peach compote, cut into 1 cm cubes
- 1 Icing sugar
- 1 Store-bought Sponge cake (3 x 18 x 1 cm thickness)
- Make peach compote the day before.
- Refer to: Peach compote https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/149490-peach-compote
- Slice the spongecake 1 cm thick, and cut to cover the mould.
- Line the mould with the prepared spongecake and brush with the peach compote syrup (not listed).
- Cut the spongecake to make a lid over the mousse.
- Brush the sides, which will touch the mousse with the syrup.
- Mix the gelatin powder and 60 ml of compote syrup to soften.
- Dissolve the gelatin over a bain-marie.
- Put the cream in a bowl and whip until ribbons form.
- Blitz the ingredients into puree in a blender or mixer.
- Dissolve the sugar completely at this point.
- Add the dissolved gelatin powder and blitz again.
- Transfer into a bowl and put over a bowl with ice water.
- Stir until thickened.
- Add the cream from Step 4 and mix well with a balloon whisk.
- Pour 1/3 of the thickened mixture into a prepared mould and scatter 1/2 of peach compote.
- Pour 1/3 of the mixture on top and scatter the rest of the peach compote.
- Pour the rest of the mixture and lid with the 2 prepared sponge.
- Press gently over the cake and chill in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.
- I used uneven leftover cake as a lid after cutting so as to cover the mould first.
- It doesn't look so pretty, but the lid will be at the bottom, so it's not noticeable.
- I think a small cup of filling will be left.
- Chill in a cup.
- After the mousse is set, flip over the mould and remove.
- Sprinkle icing sugar on top with a tea strainer.
- I used 1.5 servings of peach compote for the mousse and used another 1/2 for the cubes.
- It was a quite big peach and I used 2.
- If you use small peaches use 3.
- You can make peach compote with either red or white wine.
- I like it with red wine because it gives a lovely pink hue to the mousse.
