- Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a separate large bowl until pale, thick and doubled in volume.

Cooking Tip: This recipe is perfect for entertaining. The mousse can be made ahead of time and set in dessert bowls or glasses so you can enjoy time with your guests.
Nutrition Tip: The fruity, peppery flavour of olive oil is a great way to balance out desserts. Additionally, it’s a rich source of mono-unsaturated fats which have been shown to improve heart health and be protective of memory and brain function.
