Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 60 milliliters Limoncello liqueur
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 200 grams Fresh raspberries
- 20 grams Powdered sugar
- 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the limoncello liqueur and lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three batches. Use a spatula to fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and airy.
In another small bowl, mash half of the fresh raspberries with the powdered sugar using a fork until slightly chunky to create a raspberry coulis.
To assemble the mousse, layer the mascarpone mixture, whole raspberries, and raspberry coulis in serving glasses or bowls. Start with a layer of mascarpone mousse, add a few whole raspberries, drizzle with a teaspoon of raspberry coulis, and repeat until the glasses are filled.
Chill the assembled mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set and allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish each glass with a few fresh raspberries and a mint leaf, if desired.
