Ingredients

For the Raspberry Mousse:

  • 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries)

  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (optional, for a firmer mousse)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Fresh raspberries

  • Whipped cream

  • Mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Making the Raspberry Puree:

    • If using fresh raspberries, wash them thoroughly. If using frozen raspberries, thaw for about 10 minutes before use.

    • Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the puree to remove the seeds.

    • Optional: For a firmer mousse, dissolve gelatin in 1 tablespoon of warm water and stir it into the raspberry puree. Let it cool to room temperature.

  2. Whipping the Cream:

    • In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

    • Add vanilla extract and beat until combined.

  3. Combining the Raspberry Puree and Whipped Cream:

    • Gently fold the cooled raspberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix until smooth, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

  4. Chilling the Mousse:

    • Spoon the mousse into serving cups or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow it to set.

  5. Serving:

    • Once set, garnish the mousse with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and mint leaves. Serve chilled.
