Butterscotch Mousse

Introduction

This is a really decadent to eat, but easy to prepare sweet. I'm always looking for ways to use up egg whites, so it's a double bonus. The serving suggestion is to serve this mousse with some sauteed apples - and it works perfectly, but it's also a lovely treat just as is. Comes from the cooking show 'Fresh'.

Metric Cups

75 grams butter
100 grams brown sugar
300 millilitres cream
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons caster sugar

3 ounces butter
4 ounces brown sugar
10½ fluid ounces cream
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons superfine sugar

Love the simple and delicious ingredient list but I wonder how this mousse is going to stiffen?
