Champagne Mousse Moët & Chandon

This recipe was obtained from the champagne house of Moët & Chandon many years ago and would be something that just fits for the Holiday season. Use a good quality champagne in making this. Recipe will provide 12 servings. I have not included the cooling or chilling time.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12 glasses

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon gelatin
• 1⁄4 cup cold water
• 4  eggs, separated
• 3  whole eggs
• 6  ounces sugar
• 1  cup  whipping cream
• 9  fluid ounces  champagne

Directions

1. Soften the gelatin in the cold water. In the top of your double boiler over simmering, not boiling water, beat together the 4 egg yolks and the 3 whole eggs until light, then add the sugar and the champagne and cook with stirring until the mixture thickens. Add the gelatin and beat in until it has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down completely. This will take an hour or more. Then beat the 4 egg whites until stiff and the whipping cream likewise, then alternately add these two ingredients to the cool mixture, folding them carefully inches Place in serving dishes and chill until they have set, preferably overnight.
