Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- optional Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and sugar.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the raspberry mixture cool slightly.
Press the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Once bloomed, heat the gelatin mixture gently in the microwave or on the stove until fully dissolved. Do not overheat.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the raspberry puree, mixing well.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the raspberry gelatin mixture and lemon juice into the whipped cream until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Divide the mousse mixture into serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, if desired.
