Loved this easy and elegant dessert! Just one word, though - fresh - in terms of the eggs, since they're not cooked. I only made half a recipe. And, to make life easier, I used a new toy, my whipped cream maker from Pampered Chef. Wow - whipped cream in under a minute! The toasted macaroon crumbs were genius. Luckily I made more than called for, which was a good thing because I couldn't stop nibbling on them! The half recipe made more than two 6 oz servings, so I put the rest of the mousse in small individual tasting cups. So cute - and they would make a perfect dessert for company. Light and so flavorful, with those bits of macaroon crumb floating inside. Thanks for posting this keeper of a recipe! Made for Culinary Quest 2016. Team Pi Rho Maniacs.

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
