The sesame-jaggery mousse is a delightful fusion of traditional French delicacy and Indian flavours. The nutty sesame seeds paired with the earthy sweetness of jaggery create a rich, caramel-like taste that’s perfectly balanced with airy whipped cream. This mousse is light yet indulgent, and can be served as a festive dessert or a refined end to any meal.
Dry roast the sesame seeds on low heat until they turn aromatic and lightly golden. Cool completely and grind into a fine powder for a smooth mousse texture.

Activate the setting agent
Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes until it blooms, then heat gently until fully dissolved. Add the prepared setting agent to the warm sesame-jaggery mixture and stir well to combine evenly.

Whip the cream
