Ingredients
UnitsScale
2cups fresh or frozen raspberries
1cup heavy whipping cream
1/3cup sugar
4oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup white chocolate (optional, for creaminess)
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin or equivalent stabilizer
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons water (for dissolving gelatin)
Instructions
Puree the raspberries in a blender and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
In a small saucepan, combine raspberry puree, sugar, and water. Heat gently until sugar dissolves.
Stir in the gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Whip the cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
If using, beat in cream cheese or melted white chocolate until smooth.
Gently fold the cooled raspberry mixture and vanilla extract into the whipped cream mixture until fully combined.
Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving cups.
Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until set.
Top with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
Use thawed frozen raspberries if fresh aren’t available.
Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to help mousse set properly.
Chill overnight for firmer texture and better flavor melding.
Use piping bags for a neater presentation.
Top just before serving to maintain freshness of garnishes.
