Description
A delightful raspberry mousse that’s creamy and indulgent, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1⁄3 teaspoons (7 grams) powdered gelatin, 1 packet Knox
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 10 oz (2 1/2 cups) fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar
- 8–12 fresh raspberries and extra whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Set aside to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. Then, carefully pass the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a heat-proof bowl to remove the seeds.
- Return the syrup to the saucepan and add the gelatin. Warm over low heat until the gelatin dissolves, then remove from the heat, pour into a clean, large bowl, and set aside to cool.
- When the raspberry syrup is cool but not cold, beat the whipping cream on low speed with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Turn the speed to medium and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Add 1/4 of the whipped cream to the raspberry syrup and mix until well blended. Then, gently fold the remaining cream into the mix until no white streaks remain.
- Divide the mousse between 4-6 individual serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.
- Before serving, garnish each mousse with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure to use quality fresh raspberries for the best flavor.
- You can substitute the heavy whipping cream with a dairy-free option for a vegan version.
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust the sugar according to taste.
