2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons gelatin powder
3 tablespoons cold water
Optional: fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the raspberries break down into a sauce.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, then let cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Gently heat the gelatin until fully dissolved, then stir it into the raspberry mixture along with vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Once the raspberry mixture has cooled to room temperature, gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and airy.
- Spoon or pipe the mousse into heart-shaped molds.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Carefully unmold and garnish with fresh raspberries or mint before serving.
Notes
Straining the raspberry mixture ensures a smooth, seed-free texture.Allow the raspberry mixture to cool before folding in cream to prevent deflating.You can substitute gelatin with agar-agar for a vegetarian option.Lightly greasing molds or dipping them in warm water helps with easy unmolding.Serve chilled for best texture and presentation.
