For a smoother mousse, strain the mustard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking and before cooling. If you don't have a ring mold, you can use individual ramekins for an elegant presentation. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your ham and your personal preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mustard mixture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to bloom. (5 minutes)
02
StepTransfer the bloomed gelatin to a blender. Add the sugar, apple cider vinegar, ⅓ cup of water, mustard powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Add the eggs and blend again until fully incorporated. (2 minutes)
03
StepPour the mustard mixture into a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a custard. This should take approximately 10-15 minutes. (15 minutes)
04
StepRemove the bowl from the heat and allow the custard to cool completely. You can speed this up by placing the bowl in an ice bath, stirring occasionally. (30 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (5 minutes)
06
StepGently fold the whipped cream into the cooled mustard custard, ensuring not to deflate the cream. Mix until just combined, creating a light and airy mousse. (5 minutes)
07
StepLightly grease a 1-quart ring mold or any decorative mold of your choice. Pour the mustard-cream mixture into the mold. (2 minutes)
08
StepCover the mold with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely. (480 minutes)
09
StepTo serve, unmold the mousse onto a serving platter and present alongside your favorite ham. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Feb 3, 2025My mousse didn't set properly. I think I may have overmixed it after adding the whipped cream. Will be more careful next time!
