What's the difference between Hollandaise sauce and Mousseline sauce?

Although they are very closely related, mousseline sauce is different from Hollandaise sauce thanks to one magic ingredient: cream! You actually start this recipe by whisking a classic Hollandaise of egg yolks, lemon juice, and butter au bain-marie. Only at the very end do you fold in a generous spoonful of semi-whipped cream. This makes the sauce even airier, softer, and creamier.

Let it simmer gently.

Whisk until you get a firm foam and no moisture is visible in the foam at the bottom.

Now add the butter piece by piece.

Once everything is whipped airy, taste and possibly season with pepper and salt.
