A creamy and delightful raspberry mousse that is perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mash the raspberries lightly with a fork and set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms. Then, gently heat the mixture in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until the gelatin dissolves completely. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Carefully fold in the raspberry mixture and the dissolved gelatin until well combined.
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, top with additional fresh raspberries for garnish.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, melt 2 ounces of dark chocolate and fold it into the mousse mixture before chilling.
- You can also substitute blueberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
