# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar
02 -
2 cups heavy whipping cream
03 -
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
04 -
10 ounces (about 2 1/2 cups) raspberries (use fresh or thawed from frozen)
05 -
3 tablespoons cold water
06 -
2 1/3 teaspoons powdered gelatin (one Knox packet, about 7 grams)
07 -
1/2 cup regular sugar
→ For Garnish (Optional)
08 -
A few dollops of whipped cream
09 -
8 to 12 whole raspberries
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Top each mousse with some fresh raspberries and whipped cream if you feel like it, then dig in!
02 -
Spoon your mousse evenly into 4 to 6 small bowls or cups. Pop them in the fridge for at least a couple of hours so everything sets nicely.
03 -
Gently fold the rest of the whipped cream into the raspberry mix, being careful not to over-mix. Start by stirring about a quarter of the whipped cream in just to lighten things up.
04 -
Grab an electric mixer and beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar. Go low and slow until soft peaks show, then tick it up to medium until the peaks stand tall.
05 -
Move the smooth raspberry syrup back into the pot, toss in the bloomed gelatin, and warm it just enough for the gelatin to melt completely. When ready, pour the mixture into a big bowl and let it cool down some.
06 -
Toss raspberries, regular sugar, and lemon juice into a saucepan over low heat. Stir now and then until the sugar melts. Strain out the seeds with a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth and collect the juicy syrup below.
07 -
Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a small dish and let it hang out for about 5-10 minutes until it gets thick and a bit wobbly.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Thawed frozen raspberries work great, but drain them or your mousse can turn out mushy
02 -
Taste your berries before adding sugar—you might want to use less or more depending on how sweet they are
03 -
Layer some cheesecloth in your strainer if you hate raspberry cleanup
