Any dessert that is related to custard is divine! I've been using my macaron-left-over egg yolks for canelés and custard-based chia puddings, I cannot wait to try the vanilla mousse you presented! 😋 As always, thank you Maddie for your recipe and for your presentation skills ❤
Ooo yes those are some great ideas for using up egg yolks! Hopefully you’ll enjoy this recipe and add it to your list for using up yolks in the future! ☺️
Thanks! No, if you are building a cake with mousse you should always stack or build the cake just after you make the mousse and while the mousse is still a liquid. After the mousse sets up it should not be spread or handled, or you will deflate it!
@@MaddieBrehm 🧡 thank you for this Video, cause it reminded me of your be mine macaron/ganache recipes. For saturday i needed a blueberry filling idea and found the Inspiration just Yet in your raspberry cheesecake ganache recipe (hopefully it Tastes as good as the original recipe looks like🩷)
How important is sugar to the structure of this mousse? I have a diabetic in the house and am always looking for ways to decrease the amount of sugar. (I've had success replacing half of the sugar with something like Swerve in cookies/brownies/etc.) If anyone else has any insight, I would appreciated it. Thanks for the video; now I want desert!
I think you could replace some or all of the sugar with an alternative if you have one you like the taste of and have baked with before - but I have not tried such a replacement!
I probably wouldn’t recommend that! You could make the mousse in a mold and use it as an insert or topping for your choux, but usually eclairs or choux are filled with a pastry cream, crémeux, crème diplomat or something similar that is made to be piped. This mousse - and any other mousse - is meant to be made and then left to set up in whatever container or mold you intend to serve it in; not piped after it has set!
If you are only refrigerating them for 4-8 hours it is unnecessary! But if you are keeping them overnight or for 2-3 days, then it would be a good idea to do so :)
Great recipe, thank you for sharing.

Looks fantastic. If I'm using this as a filling in a cake, do I just scoop some out and then smooth it with an offset spatula? Thank you! -- Judi

Would this also be good as an Eclair filling?

Should you cover them when you put them in the refrigerator?

No white chocolate?
No! This is an anglaise based mousse, not a chocolate mousse 😉
@@MaddieBrehm I thought that every mousse has 3 preparations. Creme anglaise,chocolate, heavy cream beaten in soft peaks.
