Pea Mousse

Surprise your guests with this dessert, they'll all want the recipe! - by Amy Sinclair

Pea Mousse
Prep: 15 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - EASY - Serves 6-8 -
Proudly supported by

Fresh from the pod or straight from the freezer, the sweetness of peas lends itself to desserts very well, and the slightly earthy undertone works brilliantly with vanilla, lemon or mint. This recipe of sweet green pea mousse decorated with pea shoots and flowers, is as summery a dessert as you can make. 

Ingredients

120ml double cream

120ml milk

31 /3 sheets gelatine (the sheets are easy to snap into thirds)

5 egg yolks (freeze the whites for meringues)

15g golden caster sugar

pinch salt

200g white chocolate, chopped

60g butter, chopped

200g frozen petits pois, defrosted

pea shoots and edible flowers, to decorate

Method

  1.  Put the cream and milk in a pan and heat slowly until almost boiling. Soak the gelatine in cold water until floppy.

  2. Put the egg yolks in a bowl with the sugar and whisk together with the salt. Pour the milk mixture over the yolks, then pour the lot back into the pan (give it a wipe first to clean the bottom) and stir the mixture over a low heat until it starts to thicken and make a thin custard.
    Keep stirring and don’t turn the heat up too high or the eggs might start to cook into clumps.

  3. Turn off the heat and stir in the gelatine, chocolate and butter then, once incorporated, stir in the peas. Whizz in a blender until it is as fine as you can get it, then pour it through a sieve into a jug. Either chill in a box or divide the mixture between glasses and chill them. If you’ve chilled the mixture in a box, spoon or pipe it into glasses to serve and decorate with pea shoots and flowers.
