Serves 10 (3 ounces each)
Ingredients for Anglaise
1 pint Milk
1 pint heavy Cream
1 pint 4oz Egg Yolks
1 lb Sugar
Ingredients for Mousse
2 pint 9 oz heavy Cream
3 pint 3 oz White Chocolate

Method for White Chocolate Cardamom Mousse
• Produce anglaise first by heating the milk and heavy cream in a sauce pot over medium flame till it comes to a slight boil.
• Mix egg yolks and sugar with a whisk, then add milk/cream mix slowly, while whisking, to the yolks/sugar till yolks become tempered and loose.
• Add the loose yolks into the pot with the rest of the milk/crème, put back on to low flame and while stirring with heat proof spatulas cook till it can coat the back of the spatula thick.
When thick immediately put onto an ice bath while stirring till slightly cool.
(can over cook and make scrambled eggs if you don’t constantly stir).
• Add crushed Cardamom into cooling anglaise, let sit till cool and strain.
• Take gelatin sheets and put into a cup with ice cold water and let soften, once softened drain water and melt gelatin either in the microwave or over boiling water.
• Melt chocolate over a gently boiling pot of water, once melted, whisk in anglaise to chocolate.
Mix in melted gelatin to anglaise.
• Whip heavy cream to soft peaks with mixer or whisk.
• Gradually add whipped cream to cool anglaise/ chocolate/gelatin mixture to lighten texture.
• Place in refrigerator and let cool for 60 minutes.
• Plate and serve chilled.
