Ingredients

Scale
  • For the pear mousse:
    • 1 cup pear puree
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon gelatin
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the base:
    • 1 1/2 cups shortbread or digestive biscuit crumbs
    • 1/4 cup melted butter
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • For the glaze:
    • 1/2 cup pear juice (or pear liqueur)
    • 1 tablespoon gelatin
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • Green food coloring (optional)
  • For the decoration:
    • Green fondant or marzipan for leaves and stems

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine pear puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat gently and stir until sugar dissolves.
  2. Dissolve gelatin in a small amount of water and add it to the pear mixture. Stir well and remove from heat.
  3. Let the mixture cool slightly before folding in whipped heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine shortbread crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of individual dome molds or a baking tray.
  5. Fill the mousse mixture into the molds, on top of the shortbread base, and smooth the surface.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
  7. Heat pear juice with sugar, dissolve the gelatin, and add a few drops of green food coloring. Stir well and cool.
  8. Once the mousse is set, pour the glaze over each mousse dome, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
  9. Let the glaze set in the fridge.
  10. Decorate each mousse with fondant or marzipan leaves and stems to mimic a pear.

Notes

  • Ensure the mousse is completely set before glazing for a smooth finish.
  • Use pear puree made from fresh pears for the best flavor.
  • Customize the decoration with edible flowers for an elegant touch.
