Preparation Time: 10 minutes
For special occasions, my mother always makes a mousse that’s used as an “intermezzo” or palette cleanser. In my family we call it “shmoose,” a combination of “schnapps” and “mousse,” and serve it in small schnapps cups — though many request it served in 8-ounce cups!
Ingredients
8 oz (1 cup) pareve whipping cream
1 cup sugar
1/2 Tbsp coffee diluted in 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1/4 cup Everclear Grain Alcohol
Directions
Place pareve whipping cream in the bowl of your mixer. Beat until stiff. Add remaining ingredients and mix until combined. Use a spoon to fill cups.
Note “Shmoose” can be frozen. Allow to thaw 20 minutes before serving.
