Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh raspberries
- 400 ml Coconut cream
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Agar-agar powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Place fresh raspberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. You should have about 200 ml of raspberry puree.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the strained raspberry puree, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the agar-agar powder to the saucepan and stir continuously to dissolve it completely. Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
While the raspberry mixture cools, open the chilled coconut cream and scoop out the firm cream layer into a mixing bowl, leaving behind any watery liquid. Beat the coconut cream with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 5
Gently fold the cooled raspberry mixture and vanilla extract into the whipped coconut cream, ensuring not to deflate the mixture. The mousse should be well combined and a uniform pink color.
Step 6
Spoon the mousse evenly into 4 individual serving glasses or bowls. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 7
Garnish with a few fresh raspberries on top and a mint leaf before serving, if desired.
