Description
A light and elegant Goat Cheese Mousse topped with sweet roasted blueberries and crunchy pistachios, perfect as a sophisticated dessert or a delightful appetizer.
Ingredients
Dairy & Sugar
- 1/2 cup (12 cl) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 5 oz (140g) fresh goat cheese
Fruit
- 2 cups (250g) blueberries
Nuts
- 2 Tablespoons pistachio, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the blueberries.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whisk the heavy cream and sugar together until stiff peaks form, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate the goat cheese: Spoon half of the whipped cream into the bowl with the goat cheese and whisk until smooth. Then, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream to keep the mousse light and airy.
- Chill the mousse: Transfer the mousse into small bowls or glasses, cover them, and refrigerate for about one hour to allow it to set and develop flavor.
- Roast the blueberries: Spread the blueberries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and roast them in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Shake the tray regularly to ensure even roasting.
- Assemble the dessert: Once chilled, top each mousse serving with the warm roasted blueberries and sprinkle with chopped pistachios for texture and garnish.
Notes
- You can substitute pistachios with almonds or walnuts if preferred.
- The roasting time for blueberries can be adjusted slightly depending on desired level of caramelization.
- For a tangier mousse, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the goat cheese mixture.
- Ensure the cream is cold before whipping for best volume.
- This mousse is best served within 24 hours of preparation for optimal freshness.
