1/ Blend the beets: Roughly chop the cooked beets and place them in a blender. Add the lemon juice and olive oil, then blend until smooth. At this stage, blend the beets on their own.
2/ Add the cheese and crème fraîche: Once the beets are smooth, add the Chavroux and crème fraîche. Blend again until fully combined and creamy. If needed, scrape down the sides with a spatula during blending.
3/ Season to taste: Season with salt and pepper. You can also add a little more lemon juice if you like a brighter flavor.
4/ Chill and serve: Spoon the mixture into small glasses and smooth the surface. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes. Just before serving, garnish with herbs, nuts, or any toppings you like
🌟 Tips for Enjoying Beet Mousse 🌟
⭐️ What Is Chèvre Cheese?: Chèvre is a cheese made from goat’s milk, known for its fresh tang and distinctive flavor. This recipe uses Chavroux, a French fresh goat cheese that’s mild, creamy, and easy to work with—even if you’re new to goat cheese. It pairs wonderfully with chilled dishes like this mousse.
⭐️ Want a Lighter Version?: For a fresher, lighter taste, you can swap out the crème fraîche for a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt. It adds a subtle tang and makes the mousse even more refreshing. Adjust the quantity to suit your preferred texture and flavor.
⭐️ No Chèvre? No Problem!: If goat cheese isn’t your thing—or it’s hard to find near you—try using ricotta, cottage cheese, or plain yogurt instead. Any fresh cheese with a mild flavor will still give you a delicious result.🩷
⭐️ Watch the Moisture Level of Your Beets: Depending on the type of beets you use (vacuum-packed, canned, or homemade), the moisture content can vary. If the mixture turns out too runny after blending, add a little more cheese or chill it well in the fridge to help it set. A slightly firmer texture makes it easier to serve and gives a nice consistency.
⭐️ Great with Other Dishes Too: This beet mousse isn’t just a pretty appetizer—it’s also perfect for creating colorful plates. Try serving it with quiche or a fresh green salad, just like in the photo. The vibrant pink hue adds a cheerful pop of color to any meal. Feel free to mix and match your own combinations!😊
