Description
A quick and easy 4-ingredient blueberry mousse that is light, fluffy, and perfect for a refreshing dessert.

Ingredients
Blueberry Mousse
- 170 g frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 large egg white (approx. 40 g)
Optional Whipped Cream
- 50 ml whipped cream
- Optional dash of lemon juice
- Optional caster sugar to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Cream (Optional): If serving the mousse with whipped cream, whisk 50 ml of cream in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Sweeten lightly with caster sugar and add a dash of lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Set aside.
- Make Blueberry Puree: Place the frozen blueberries into a food processor and blend into a rough puree. Add 1 tablespoon of caster sugar and pulse briefly to combine evenly with the fruit.
- Blend with Egg White: Add the egg white to the blueberry mixture in the food processor. Blitz for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and has at least doubled in volume. Occasionally stop and scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses. Optionally, layer or top with the prepared whipped cream. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh texture before the blueberries begin to release excess water.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries directly to give the mousse a chilled, refreshing texture.
- Serving immediately is key to preventing the mousse from becoming watery as the blueberries thaw.
- For a richer flavor, add a few drops of lemon juice to the whipped cream.
- Ensure the egg white is fresh and properly separated for maximum volume and safety.
- Can be doubled easily for larger servings.
