1. Boil the whipping cream and milk together. Infuse with the vanilla pod.
2. Pour the liquid gradually onto the couverture and emulsify until homogeneous.

The final temperature of this mousse should be around 22 to 28°C.

This mousse is very versatile. It can be used for a range of desserts. The final texture —semi-liquid— means it can be assembled using ladles. It has good stability when refrigerated. It is recommended for use in desserts that will be glazed. It is a good option as a recipe for people with egg allergies.
