Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) fresh or frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
Stabilizing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish Ingredients:
- Fresh raspberries
- Whipped cream
- White chocolate shavings
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant raspberry reduction by gently simmering fresh raspberries with granulated sugar and a splash of lemon juice in a saucepan. Allow the fruits to break down and release their intense flavors, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract maximum juice while eliminating seeds. The resulting puree should be smooth and glossy.
- Activate gelatin by sprinkling the powder over cold water, letting it bloom and transform into a translucent liquid. Warm the gelatin briefly to ensure complete dissolution.
- Integrate the gelatin into the slightly cooled raspberry puree, whisking carefully to create a harmonious mixture with a consistent texture.
- Prepare a luxurious cream base by whipping heavy cream with powdered sugar and a hint of vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks emerge.
- Delicately fold the raspberry-gelatin mixture into the whipped cream, using gentle circular motions to maintain the cream’s airy structure and create a marbled effect.
- Transfer the mousse into elegant serving glasses, ensuring smooth distribution and attractive presentation.
- Refrigerate the mousse for several hours until it sets into a light, silky consistency with a firm yet delicate structure.
- Before serving, adorn with fresh whole raspberries, delicate white chocolate shavings, or a dollop of additional whipped cream to enhance visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Strain the raspberry puree carefully to ensure a smooth, seed-free texture that enhances the mousse’s delicate consistency.
- Let the gelatin bloom completely in cold water to activate its thickening properties and prevent lumpy spots in the mousse.
- Fold the raspberry mixture into whipped cream gently to maintain the light, airy texture and prevent deflating the delicate cream.
- Chill the mousse thoroughly to allow it to set properly, creating a perfect silky-smooth dessert that holds its shape when served.
