Ingredients

• 100 grams Caviar
• 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a saucepan, gently heat the gelatin mixture over low heat until dissolved completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Whisk or use a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Fold the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gently fold in 75 grams of the caviar and the chopped chives, being careful not to break the caviar pearls for a better texture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into a serving dish, ramekins, or a mold of your choice. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the mousse is firm and well-chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, optionally garnish the mousse with the remaining caviar for a beautiful presentation.

Step 9

Serve with crackers, toast points, or endive leaves for a luxurious appetizer.
