The result is a silky, indulgent dessert that feels like a secret treat from a European patisserie.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, chop the black licorice candies into fine pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 170ðF/77ðC). Do not let it boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the Pernod liqueur, vanilla extract, and chopped licorice.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a clean bowl or container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled and set.
  7. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled licorice-egg mixture until combined.
  9. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or small dishes. Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
