Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until raspberries break down and the mixture is syrupy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Let it cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix gelatin with water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm raspberry puree until completely dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled raspberry mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Garnish with extra raspberries or whipped cream if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but frozen ones can be used if thawed.
- Ensure the raspberry mixture is completely cool before folding into whipped cream to avoid deflation.
- This mousse can be made a day ahead and kept chilled until serving.
