Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- optional extra berries or cherries for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Microwave the bowl of gelatin for 10 seconds to dissolve it completely, then let it cool slightly.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the cherries and mixed berries until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Slowly add the berry puree to the cream cheese mixture while mixing until well combined.
Whip the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the berry mixture until fully incorporated.
Stir in the dissolved gelatin, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the mousse.
Spoon the mousse evenly into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let it set completely.
Optionally, garnish the pie with additional fresh berries and cherries before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Cherry Berry Mousse Pie!
