Individual Smoked-Salmon and Avocado Mousses for Any Occasion, Plural of mousse? Actually meece, of course, LOL! Unless you prefer Mice! It’s so easy to make, and the small molds look lovely on a plate I tried making a watercress sauce but that wasn’t enough of a success to publish the recipe! used small 1/3 cup (100 ml) melamine bowls instead of ramekins, because I wanted the dish small enough for a starter and not too filling Note that this recipe will only be enough for the the small moulds used, so adjust ingredients if using larger ramekins Change seasonings to your taste, if you like, and garnish with more imagination that I did!, I copied this recipe when it was Recipe of the Day, and made it to serve as a starter last night at a dinner for my husband’s business partners One woman asked me whether a hotel had made it for me! They loved it! I carefully (with a calculator!) increased the quantities to serve 8 Great recipe, which worked really well It is just the right size, small, for a fairly rich starter and can be garnished very nicely I was very pleased with this recipe and will make it again! Thank you for this one, Zurie!, i had problems understanding the steps I covered the bowl with salmon after i had covered it with film I also used normal cream cheese The taste was nice but it was not as great as i thought I would like to do a similar thing again but this needs some work
