Instructions

1. Stir gelatin into 1/3 cup cold water to soften. Set aside for 5-10 minutes.
2. In a cup or bowl 16 oz or larger, microwave gelatin mixture for 90 seconds. Let cool (about 3-8 minutes). You want the gelatin cooled but still runny or you will get clumps in your mousse.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip cream and sugar together until beater begin to "track" or form ridges when mixing (soft to medium peak stage).
4. Add mint extract and coloring.
5. With mixer on medium-high speed, slowly pour cooled but still liquid gelatin. Whip until mousse thickens to stiff peaks. This is the stage before you make butter so be careful not to over whip.
6. You can spoon or pipe into serving dishes or let set to use as frosting on cupcakes or cake.
7. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
