How to prepare Mousse with figs and nuts

To make the fig and nut mousse, first soak the gelatin sheets in cold water 1. Pour the rum into a saucepan and heat it gently 2, then add the well-wrung gelatin sheets 3.

Stir with a teaspoon to completely dissolve the gelatin 4 and let it cool. Meanwhile, semi-whip the cream with electric beaters 5. Pour the caramel yogurt into a bowl, then add the cooled rum with the gelatin 6.

Mix to combine the mixture 7, then add the semi-whipped cream 8 and incorporate it with a hand whisk 9.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes 10. Meanwhile, cut the figs into 4 wedges, without peeling them 11. Melt the butter in a non-stick pan 12.

Place the figs in the pan 13, then add the sugar 14 and brown over medium-high heat for a few minutes, so they get some color 15.

Finally, coarsely chop the pecans and hazelnuts 16, then briefly toast them in a pan 17. You are ready to assemble the dessert: fill 2 glasses with a capacity of 7 oz with the mousse that you have transferred into a pastry bag with an 8 mm star nozzle 18.

Garnish the glasses with the figs 19 and nuts 20, then complete with marjoram leaves. Your mousse with figs and nuts is ready to be served 21!

Advice

For a version suitable for children, you can omit the rum and dissolve the gelatin in a small portion of cream taken from the total amount.

You can vary the nuts to your liking by adding almonds or walnut kernels.

Alternatively, you can use blackberries or pears instead of figs, for example!
