Frozen Pineapple Cantaloupe Mousse
"From Baby Let's Eat! Haven't made it yet, but it looks good and kid friendly. It says, if you freeze in paper cups, the kids can lick the mousse while pushing it up from the bottom. Cook time is freezing time."
- Ready In:

- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
4 mousse cups
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup frozen pineapple concentrate, thawed
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 3 cups cubed cantaloupe
- 3⁄4 teaspoon almond extract

directions
- To prepare the mousse cups, cut four strips of aluminum foil, each 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. Wrap a strip around the top of each of four 4-oz paper cups. Secure the foil with tape and set the cups aside.
- In a heatproof bowl, mix the juice concentrate with the water.
- Sprinkle the gelatin on the top.
- Place the bowl in a large saucepan. Add enough water to the saucepan to come halfway up the side of the bowl.
- Heat over low heat, stirring continually until the gelatin dissolves. Set aside.
- Chop the cantaloupe cubes coarsely by hand or in a food processor; do NOT liquefy.
- Add the almond extract, juice mixture, and vanilla yogurt; stir or process briefly to blend. Set aside in a bowl.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold them into the fruit mixture.
- Divide the mixture among the mousse cups and freeze until firm, at least 1 1/2 hours.

This was okay. I made it exactly following the recipe, but it did not have a lot of flavor. Mostly tasted like frozen water. It seems like it could be good with some tweaking.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
