Easy Mint Mousse

  1. Finely chop the mint leaves, then combine with milk in a sauce pot.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and steam for 1 hour.
  3. Dissolve the gelatin powder in water in a heatproof bowl.
  4. Strain the mint milk from Step 1 into a bowl.
  5. Mix sugar into the bowl from Step 3.
  6. (If you have it, add mint liqueur now.)
  7. Microwave the gelatin from Step 2 uncovered for 15 seconds on 500W, then add to the bowl from Step 4.
  8. Refrigerate until slightly thickened.
  9. Whisk heavy cream in a separate bowl until it's as thickened as Step 5.
  10. Gently combine the bowls from Steps 5 and 6.
  11. Divide the mixture equally into two bowls, cover, and refrigerate until firm.
  12. Enjoy!
  13. Garnish as you like.
