Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh raspberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams extra raspberries (for garnish)
- 6 pieces fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Pass the raspberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Discard the seeds and set the smooth puree aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Once bloomed, heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until fully dissolved. Stir well and let cool slightly.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the raspberry puree until thoroughly combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Mix until fully incorporated and a uniform pink color is achieved.
Divide the mousse evenly among 4 serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spoon if necessary.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set and firm.
Just before serving, garnish each mousse with extra fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint. Serve chilled and enjoy!
