Ingredients
For this light and fluffy raspberry mousse, you’ll need:
1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen raspberries, thawed)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup whipped cream (you can use store-bought or freshly whipped)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)
1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for extra firmness)
2 tablespoons warm water (if using gelatin)
Instructions
Prepare the Raspberry Puree
Start by washing the fresh raspberries thoroughly. If you’re using frozen raspberries, make sure they are fully thawed.
Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a seedless mousse, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set the puree aside.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and whip for a few more seconds to combine.
Prepare the Gelatin (Optional)
