Fluffy Berry Treat (Print-Friendly Version)
A light and creamy mousse made with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and a touch of gelatin.
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
7 grams (2 1/3 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin powder
02 -
3 tablespoons water, chilled
03 -
2 1/2 cups (10 oz) raspberries, fresh or frozen
04 -
1/2 cup white sugar
05 -
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
→ Cream Layer
06 -
2 cups heavy cream for whipping
07 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
→ Garnish
08 -
8-12 raspberries, fresh
09 -
Extra whipped cream for decoration
# Steps:
01 -
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and leave it for about 5 to 10 minutes to absorb.
02 -
On low heat, cook raspberries, sugar, and the lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. Strain the mixture to get rid of seeds. Stir in the bloomed gelatin and warm it up until it's completely mixed in.
03 -
Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks show up, then continue mixing on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
04 -
Gently mix about a quarter of the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture, which should have cooled by now. Then fold in the rest of the whipped cream carefully until it’s all blended together.
05 -
Spoon the mix into serving glasses or bowls. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until firm.
# Notes:
01 -
If using frozen raspberries, you’ll want to drain any excess liquid well.
02 -
You can tweak the sugar amount depending on how sweet the raspberries are.

Feel free to make this the day before serving.
