Ingredients
Scale
Raspberry Puree
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Garnish
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Puree: Blend 2 cups of fresh raspberries until smooth and strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds, ensuring a silky texture for the mousse.
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of powdered gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Then microwave for 10–15 seconds until fully dissolved.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir granulated sugar (1/3 cup) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the raspberry puree. Add the dissolved gelatin mixture and mix well to incorporate all elements evenly.
- Whip Cream: Whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to soft peaks, which means the cream will hold shape but still be soft and billowy.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined, preserving the airy texture of the whipped cream.
- Chill Mousse: Spoon the mousse into dessert cups or molds, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set firmly.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, top the mousse with additional whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Notes
- For a seedless mousse, be sure to strain the raspberry puree thoroughly.
- Microwave gelatin just until dissolved; overheating can reduce its gelling power.
- Folding gently helps maintain the mousse’s light and fluffy texture.
- Can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
- For a fruity variation, substitute raspberries with strawberries or blackberries.
