Vanilla Mousse With Marshmallow Sauce Food

VANILLA MOUSSE WITH MARSHMALLOW SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. VANILLA MOUSSE: whip the cream to stiff peaks, sprinkle the sugar slowly as you continue whipping, add the vanilla and finish whipping -- then freeze
• 2. Mom gives no directions on how to freeze it. I have thought it would do nicely in a prepared pie crust (any kind), or in individual cupcake liners in a muffin pan, or it could be piped onto parchment paper and frozen in shapes. It could also be put in a bowl, and dipped out like ice cream later. Alternative: since this is basically just frozen whipped cream, you could buy a pkg of frozen whipped topping, too -- Your choice.
• 3. MARSHMALLOW SAUCE: Put the unbeaten egg white, water and sugar in a double boiler and cook over boiling water for 5 minutes BEATING CONSTANTLY with hand mixer.
• 4. Remove from fire, add the vanilla and marshmallows (cut fine) and continue beating until it makes a smooth sauce.
• 5. There are no directions as to whether to use it hot, warm or cold... but I would think it would be nice used like "hot white fudge" sauce on the mousse.
• 6. NOTE: The original recipe calls for 12 of the large marshmallows cut fine, but I figured it would be easier with the mini marshmallows (or even marshmallow creme). It says to cut them fine... so I don't know if it will be a problem to simply use the minies "as is" or if you will need to chop them smaller to make them melt better.
• 7. NOTE: I thought it was interesting that it said "remove from fire" -- this may be a very old recipe because we would have said remove from burner or stove. Just thinking.

MARSHMALLOW SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and stir well. Cook over high heat, swirling the pan by its handle, until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage and the temperature registers 240°F on a candy thermometer.
• While the syrup boils, place the egg whites in a grease-free mixing bowl and beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until frothy. Add cream of tartar and salt, increase the speed to high, and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Pour the hot syrup into the meringue very slowly with the mixer set on medium speed, and continue beating several minutes until mixture holds its shape. Beat in the vanilla. Transfer the sauce to a container and refrigerate until cold.

EASY CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW MOUSSE

Steps:

• Combine the marshmallows, 1/2 cup of the cream, and salt in a large saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate chips on high in a large microwave-safe bowl until mostly melted, 2 minutes. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the chocolate chips and stir until completely combined. Set aside until completely cool, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed or a whisk until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate, covered, until the chocolate mixture is ready.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three batches. It'll take a while to completely incorporate, so be patient. Serve immediately or divide into individual serving dishes or ramekins and refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.
