Not exactly baking, but is this mousse base recipe? Baking

I've been trying to make an eggless mousse base (no real reason, just using egg yolks and then getting rid of the whites just seems wasteful to me.)

So far, my recipe goes like this:

• 1 tsp gelatin powder

• 1 cup milk

• 1 1/2 cup whipping cream

• 1 cup flavouring

Pour milk into a pot. Add gelatin and stir, let sit for a minute. Turn on the stove to low-medium heat. Do not let mixture boil. Set aside to cool. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then add to the rest of the mixture. Put in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Does this sound like a feasible mousse base? I'd like it to be versatile so I can make different kinds of mousse flavours: berries, fruits, chocolate, coffee, citrus etc...
