How to Make Mango Ginger Mousse

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin and saffron over 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it bloom for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until light and pale. Gradually whisk in the bloomed gelatin mixture and remaining 4 tablespoons of water.
  3. Place the bowl over a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water) and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and let the custard cool slightly.
  5. Gently fold in the mango puree and candied ginger.
  6. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture, then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites in two additions.
  9. Transfer the mousse to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle (or spoon into serving dishes).
  10. Pipe or spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses, mini tart crusts, or chocolate shells.
  11. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving chilled.
