Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries)
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a blender or food processor, puree 2 cups of fresh mixed berries until smooth.
Step 2
Push the berry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. You should have about 1 cup of seedless puree.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the berry puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 5
Once bloomed, microwave the gelatin for 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the berry mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Step 7
Gently fold the cooled berry mixture into the whipped cream in 2-3 additions. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the fluffy texture.
Step 8
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves, if desired.
