Preparation
A very simple elaboration in which we will only have to whip the cream and the egg whites until stiff.
Okay… so what is the best way to whip the cream?
- Always cold, well freshly taken out of the fridge or placing the bowl on another one full of ice.
- In case of mounting with a fork, we will have to maintain a stable rhythm without varying. It is important to control the thickness to which the cream is turning.
- Whipping cream with a whisk is much easier and will take a lot less time.
- However it is very easy for us to pass and end up turning our cream into butter.
- Once we have whipped the cream, we will whip the egg whites until stiff.
How to whip the egg whites until stiff?
- It’s the same procedure as with cream. We beat to get a cloudy, fluffy texture.
- Our recommendation is to add sugar before wiping the egg to create a meringue.
- Once we have both foams, we will beat the yolks next to the gofio to obtain a relatively thick liquid mass.
- We incorporate everything into a bowl, mixing it with a baking spoon from the outside to the inside, to prevent an air escaping from the cream and meringue, only then will we have the texture of the Gofio mousse.
- We end up adding cinnamon and our chopped almonds and afterwards let it rest in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
And we are ready to enjoy an excellent mousse of Canarian Gofio, ideal for dessert.
