Ingredients
  

  • 2½ teaspoon unflavored gelatin helps create airy texture in eggless mousse
  • 3 tablespoon cold water to bloom gelatin
  • 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen (for sweet-tart fruit flavor)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar adjust based on tartness of berries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice brightens flavor; can substitute with water
  • 1½ cups heavy cream cold, for whipping to soft peaks

Equipment

  • 1 Blendtec blender For pureeing raspberries smoothly
  • 1 Silicone Spatula For folding cream and fruit together
  • 1 Fine Mesh Strainer Optional, to remove seeds from raspberry puree
  • 1 KitchenAid 5-Qt. Stand Mixer Or hand mixer for whipping cream
  • 6 7-oz mini glass bowls For serving individual portions

Method
 

  1. Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it sit until it becomes jelly-like.
  2. Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low while stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture warms.
  3. Puree the mixture using a blender, or mash with a fork if chunks are acceptable. Optionally, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  4. Return the raspberry puree and gelatin to the saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until gelatin is fully dissolved. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes until warm but not fully cooled.
  5. Whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks using a stand or hand mixer.
  6. Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream, ensuring a smooth, unified texture without deflating the cream.
  7. Spoon, pour, or pipe the mousse into six serving dishes. Top with fresh raspberries and mint leaves, if desired.
  8. Cover the dishes lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until set. Can be prepared up to 2 days in advance without garnish.
