Vanilla mousse90g liquid cream
90g white chocolate
100g single cream
2g gelatin
1 vanilla pod
Place the gelatine leaf in a large bowl of cold water. Heat the cream in a saucepan, then turn off the heat and infuse with the vanilla pod, previously halved and scraped out. Return the saucepan to the heat. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened, and the melted white chocolate. Mix again. Set aside. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Add the cooled cream (approx. 30°C) to the previous mixture and mix gently.
Pour around 85g of mousse onto the speculoos cookie and place in the freezer for around 10 minutes.
Keep the remaining mousse at room temperature, otherwise the gelatin will set in the fridge. Meanwhile, quickly add the speculoos mousse.
