Got vanilla custard, sour cream and thickened cream leftover, I don’t like wasting food. I decided to make a big deep plate vanilla custard mousse to go with leftover papaya, strawberries and blueberries.
Google: “Mousse is one of the most rich and decadent desserts and is often made with chocolate. Either whipped cream or beaten egg whites (sometimes both!) are folded into a mixture of melted chocolate, egg yolks, and sugar. Mousse is the lighter, fluffier cousin of pudding. Its lighter texture comes from whipping air into the mixture. It gets its airy consistency by folding whipped egg whites or whipped cream into the base mixture.”
This mousse is eggless and I have added gelatin to make it a bit firm. It’s a trial and error experiment. I am glad that it turned out perfectly without eggs, no wasted food and no cooking. Let’s get the beater and whipped a perfect beautiful, colourful and delicious mousse!!!!

Ingredients
200 g vanilla custard bought leftover
200 ml sour cream
200 ml thickened cream
60 g icing sugar
2 Tsp vanilla extract
2 Tsp gelatin powder unflavoured
2 Tbs milk
Garnish
5 pieces of papaya
2 strawberries
20 blueberries
colourful sprinkles


Method
Chill the mixing bowl, beaters and the deep plate for 2 hours; which I am serving in. Beat vanilla custard, sour and thickened cream, icing sugar and vanilla on medium high speed until soft peaks form.
Sprinkle gelatin over the surface of cold milk. Microwave gelatin powder in milk for 5-10 seconds, or just until it dissolves. Add gelatin mixture to cream mixture gradually as you continue to beat. Beat until stiff peaks form.
Spoon into the chill deep plate and chill again for about 4 hours. Just before serving garnish on top with 5 pieces of papaya, 2 strawberries opposite papaya pieces along with blueberries all along the edges. The sprinkles the colourful sprinkles on top. Enjoy with a glass of dessert wine, coffee or tea!!!
