- 2 large pasteurized egg yolks - 2 tbsp (29.5735 mL) cold water - 2 cups (473.1765 mL) clarified butter available; not all is used - 1 to 2 tbsp (14.7868 to 29.5735 mL) lemon juice, to taste - 1/2 cup (118.2941 mL) heavy cream, measured before whipping - Kosher salt and cayenne, to taste
1. Melt clarified butter and keep at 130-140 F (55-60 C). Whisk yolks and water until tripled. 2. Over barely simmering water, whisk 1-3 minutes until doubled and ribboning. Remove; whisk twenty seconds. 3. Rest bowl on a damp cloth over the emptied pot. Whisk in warm butter steadily only until somewhat thick; do not force in the whole quantity. Add lemon juice to taste. 4. Whip cream to soft peaks; fold into sauce. Season; serve immediately. Safety adaptation: Use pasteurized yolks; ribboning is not proof of a safe final cooking temperature. Do not use untreated raw yolks or hold at room temperature. Measurement note: Calculated metric volumes use US customary cup and spoon definitions and are rounded; no density conversions or scaling. Yield: 1 1/2 cups (354.8824 mL); source servings unspecified Source: Adapted from Rouxbe Online Culinary School. Pasteurized-yolk safety adaptation follows FDA guidance. https://pastryarts.rouxbe.com/recipes/4598-mousseline-sauce
