Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Raspberries: Rinse the raspberries under cold water and gently pat them dry. Set aside a handful for garnish.
  2. Blend the Raspberries: In a blender, puree the 2 cups of raspberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, pressing gently with a spoon.
  3. Dissolve the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms. Then, heat it gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds to dissolve fully.
  4. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the raspberry puree, sugar, and dissolved gelatin. Stir until well mixed.
  5. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  6. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture, being careful not to deflate the airy texture you’ve just created.
  7. Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  8. Serve: Once set, top with extra raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream before serving. Enjoy!
