The part of the gelatin in heavy cream and in the microwaved, I had to do it again cause the gelatin was in a ball. Maybe my microwave is too strong. So I did it again but this time I heated the heavy cream and then added the gelatin and stirred. This recipe is very easy to do. That gives a great maple mousse. So light. And the taste is just perfect. This is something I plan to do to impress guests :D Thanks Dreamer :) Made for PRMR tag game
