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.
