Description

This Easy Raspberry Mousse is a light and refreshing dessert perfect for any occasion. Made with fresh or frozen raspberries, it combines whipped cream and gelatin to create a smooth, airy texture bursting with vibrant raspberry flavor. With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, this mousse can be prepared ahead and chilled until firm, offering a delightful treat that’s both elegant and simple to make.

Ingredients

Raspberry Mousse

  • 3 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen, see notes)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup water (to dissolve gelatin)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided

Instructions

  1. Whip Cream: In a large chilled bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until medium-stiff peaks form. Once whipped, refrigerate to keep cold.
  2. Dissolve Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over 1/4 cup of water and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom. Microwave the gelatin mixture for about 10 seconds until just melted. Be careful not to let it boil.
  3. Blend Raspberry Mixture: In a blender, combine the raspberries, optional lemon juice, and the melted gelatin. Blend until smooth. If the gelatin begins to harden while blending, continue blending until it fully melts again.
  4. Optional Seed Removal: For a seed-free mousse, pass the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve, pressing with a spatula to remove seeds and ensure a smooth texture.
  5. Fold Mixtures: Gradually whisk the raspberry sauce into the whipped cream a little at a time. Finish folding gently with a spatula until the mousse is evenly pink and fully combined.
  6. Chill and Set: Spoon or pipe the mousse into dessert cups or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm. Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen raspberries; if frozen, thaw them before blending.
  • Be careful not to boil the gelatin as this can affect its setting properties.
  • Removing raspberry seeds is optional but recommended for a smoother mouthfeel.
  • The mousse can be made a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a less sweet mousse, adjust the sugar amount to taste.
