Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Blend Raspberries: In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a silky texture, then set aside.
  2. Whip Cream: Using a chilled mixing bowl and beaters, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar while whipping, continuing until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold Mixture: Gently fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream with a spatula. Use a light hand to maintain the airy texture and combine until uniform in color.
  4. Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and develop flavor before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or vanilla extract to the raspberry puree before folding.
  • Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled for best whipping results.
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before blending.
  • This dessert is best served within 1 day for optimal freshness.
