About Raspberry mousse

Raspberry mousse is a light and airy dessert originating from French cuisine, often enjoyed as an elegant treat or after-dinner dish. Made with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and sometimes gelatin or egg whites, it showcases the rich flavor of this nutrient-dense berry. Raspberries are low in calories and a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. When prepared with minimal added sugar or dairy alternatives, raspberry mousse can be a healthier dessert option while providing essential nutrients and a burst of natural sweetness.

Health Benefits

• Vitamin C in raspberries supports immune function and skin health, with 32 mg (35% DV) per 100 g serving.

• Manganese (0.7 mg per cup, 35% DV) in raspberries helps support bone health and metabolism.
