Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
