Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Add the berries and granulated sugar to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a berry puree. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly but remain liquid.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the berry puree until fully incorporated. Set the mixture aside.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar using a hand or stand mixer at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream.
Gently fold the berry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix until fully combined and no streaks remain.
Spoon or pipe the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with a spoon if needed.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2-3 hours, or until set and chilled.
Garnish each serving with fresh berries and a mint leaf before serving. Enjoy your Light Berry Mousse!
