Ingredients
2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Puree the raspberries in a blender or food processor. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Heat the Raspberry Mixture: Combine the raspberry puree, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is heated through.
- Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Combine Gelatin and Raspberry Mixture: Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm raspberry mixture until dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the Raspberry Mixture: Gently fold the cooled raspberry mixture into the whipped cream, keeping the mousse light and airy.
- Chill the Mousse: Spoon into serving glasses and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to set.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves before serving. Serve chilled.
Notes
Vegan Version: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
Add Chocolate: Add 1/4 cup of melted dark chocolate for a chocolate twist.
Berry Blend: Mix raspberries with other berries like strawberries or blackberries for variety.
