Creamy Jackfruit Mousse

Hi all, its been a while, the holiday season has started and its time to enjoy with family and friends. My MIL wanted to make a savory dish using jackfruit unfortunately the canned jackfruit we bought was sweetened Jackfruit in sugar syrup hence we had to come up with something to make use of it. I decided to make something quick with whatever left over ingredients I had from Thanksgiving shopping. It was nice, light and yummy so here it goes

Jackfruit Mousse

MAKING

In a blender, add 4-5 pieces of jackfruit, add the sugar and sour cream and blend it into a nice smooth consistency. It will be creamy. Set it aside.

In a bowl, add the heavy cream, sugar and sour cream and whisk it using an electric whisker. Whip it well until it gets a peak at the end of the whisk. 

in a rectangle loaf pan preferably glass, pour the prepared jackfruit cream, add some pieces of chopped jackfruit pieces on it, now pour in the whipped cream to make a nice 2 layer. Again top it with pieces of chopped Jackfruit pieces.

Refrigerate at least for an hour and serve it cold.

Thats' it delicious easy Jackfruit Mousse is ready.

TIPS/VARIATIONS

I made this dish using the ingredients I had with me at that point. Here are the alternatives

1: You can use fresh jackfruit instead of canned one

2: If you do not like the raw smell of the jackfruit, boil it for a few minutes and then do the above steps.

3: Instead of Heavy cream, you could use whipping cream which ideally works better. 

4: You could also use plain cream cheese instead of sour cream to give that cheese cake touch and add a layer of graham crackers or pistachio coarsely powdered roasted pistachios

5: if you need more sweetness, you could add more sugar to the jackfruit cream. I added only 2 Tbsp in mine.

You can never go wrong with this dish. You can also substitute jackfruit with fruits like Mangoes etc
