Cloud-light and gently sweet, this whipped apple souffle turns simple applesauce into an elegant, mousse-like dessert with only three ingredients. Whipped for a full 10-15 minutes, the mixture grows pale and fluffy, then sets in the fridge into delicate slices.

Ingredients
- 600 g (21 oz / 2 1/2 cups) applesauce (preferably homemade from fresh apples)
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) water
- 30 g (1 oz / 3 tbsp) instant gelatin
Instructions
- Peel, chop and simmer the apples until soft, then blend into a smooth puree.
- Dissolve the gelatin in the water and stir it into the warm apple puree.
- Whip the mixture for 10-15 minutes, until it grows noticeably in volume and turns pale and fluffy.
- Pour into a mold and refrigerate for 1 hour to set. Slice and serve chilled.
Tips
- Whip the mixture while it is still slightly warm – it traps air much better than a cold puree.
- Use a deep bowl and a powerful mixer; the volume nearly doubles during whipping.
