Ingredients

Raspberry Base

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Gelatin Mixture

  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Garnish (optional)

  • Mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare Raspberry Puree: In a medium saucepan, combine fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to mix and then cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the raspberries break down and release their juices.
  2. Cool and Strain: Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove seeds, then stir in vanilla extract and allow to cool completely.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a chilled large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken (2-3 minutes). Add powdered sugar and beat on high speed until soft peaks form, taking care not to overbeat. Set aside.
  4. Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  5. Dissolve Gelatin: Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved, stirring to eliminate lumps. Let cool slightly before adding to raspberry puree.
  6. Combine Gelatin with Raspberry Puree: Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the cooled raspberry puree while stirring continuously to integrate evenly.
  7. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture with a spatula, being careful to maintain the mousse’s lightness. Fold until fully combined and no streaks remain.
  8. Chill the Mousse: Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap or lids and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to set properly.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with extra fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to achieve better volume.
  • If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen raspberries can be used but ensure they are thawed and drained well.
  • Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the mousse.
  • Do not overbeat the cream as it may become grainy and separate.
  • The mousse can be prepared a day ahead, making it convenient for entertaining.
