Yummy Goodness | Mojito Mousse
Mojito mousse for 8
1 tbsp gelatin
2/3 cup lime juice (~ 6 - 7 limes)
3/4 cup brown sugar
5 eggs, separated
2 - 3 tbsp white rum
1 cup whipping cream, chilled
2 handfuls fresh mint leaves
lime slices to decorate
Soften the gelatin in a little warm water.
In a small pan, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Add the lime juice and 1/2 cup brown sugar and stir over a low heat until the mixture becomes like heavy cream in consistency (might take between 5 - 10 minutes).
The mixture might curdle at the beginning, but don't let that intimidate you - it will come nicely together.
When you reached the right consistency, take away from heat and stir in the gelatin.
Add the liquor and mix. Pour the mixture into a metalic bowl and let it float in a basin of cold water to reach room temperature.
Finely chop the mint leaves and add them to the mixture once it has cooled down.
Now beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Whip the cream until soft, add the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar and whip again until stiff.
Gently fold the egg whites into the cream. Add the lime mixture, one third at a time, stiring gently.
Pour the mousse into serving glasses, cover with cling film and refrigerate for
at least 1 hour.
To serve, decorate with mint leaves, lime slices or lime zest

Music Monday | Lyrics that move me
One of my favorite Foreign Exchange songs....
Just imagine the possibilities (talking about the possibilities)
If you would only let down your guard I always say my love is easy babe
You don’t have to make it so hard (so hard yeah) I know you wont nothing else
But you can try and tell yourself its all a game (all a game)
I know you been only wishing For a love that goes the distance
Call my name Cause I am in love with you
{Foreign Exchange, Maybe she’ll dream of me}
