Sweet potato and pear mousse from The Washington Post Cookbook: Readers' Favorite Recipes by Bonnie Benwick

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Laura on June 21, 2013

    Pg. 214. When the Washington Post staff were preparing to compile this book they sent out a request to readers to submit their favorite recipes that had appeared in the Post over the years. I sent in a few, but my favorite was Sweet Potato and Pear Mousse. So, I was thrilled when I saw that it had been included in the book! The recipe was published in March 1986 and I first made it for Thanksgiving in 1989....and for every Thanksgiving since then. It's just a fantastic dish -- a lighter version of the traditional heavy holiday sweet potato dish.
