Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 100 grams Fresh blueberries
- 50 grams Sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
- 250 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry all the fruits. Dice the strawberries and mangoes into small pieces. Leave the blueberries whole.
Blend the strawberries, mangoes, and blueberries (reserving a few for garnish) in a blender until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds or pulp if desired.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until dissolved, or heat gently over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly.
Add the sugar to the fruit puree and stir until dissolved. Add the melted gelatin to the fruit mixture and mix thoroughly to combine.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the fruit puree into the whipped cream in small batches, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and smooth the tops. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or until set.
When ready to serve, garnish with reserved fruits and a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
