Heat 2 oz. of heavy cream. This will be used to temper eggs later. 6. While the cream is heating melt the butter in a double boiler. 7. Whip 8 oz. of heavy cream to form soft peaks in a small hand mixer with the whip attachment 8. Crack and separate the eggs. 9. Once the butter is melted, whisk egg yolks and sugar into the butter. 10.

Remove the molds from the ice and separate each mousse from its ring mold. 21. Set aside until ready for plating. | |
