Ingredients
  

Raspberry Puree
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Mousse Base
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 0.33 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 sprig fresh mint leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • Saucepan
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Dessert glasses

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice for 5-7 minutes until broken down and syrupy.
  2. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract juice. Discard seeds.
  3. Place the smooth raspberry puree in the refrigerator until completely cold.
  4. In a large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the chilled raspberry puree into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain.
  6. Pipe or spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
  8. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint just before serving.

Notes

Ensure your heavy cream and mixing bowl are very cold to achieve the stiffest peaks. Fold the puree gently to keep the mousse airy.
