A light and airy Fresh Raspberry Cloud Mousse made with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and a gentle touch of gelatin. This delightful dessert is smooth, fruity, and perfect for a refreshing treat or elegant presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Raspberry Puree

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin or agar-agar
  • 2 tablespoons water (for blooming gelatin)

For the Mousse

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Raspberry Puree: Blend the fresh raspberries until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, resulting in a smooth puree.
  2. Bloom Gelatin: In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Gently heat the mixture over low heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved, ensuring it doesn’t boil.
  3. Combine Gelatin and Puree: Stir the dissolved gelatin into the raspberry puree along with the lemon juice to evenly distribute and activate the setting agent.
  4. Whip Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy base.
  5. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the raspberry gelatin mixture into the whipped cream, combining thoroughly but carefully to maintain the airy texture.
  6. Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set and develop flavor.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves for an elegant finish and added freshness.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use agar-agar instead of gelatin and coconut-based cream instead of heavy cream.
  • Straining the raspberry puree ensures a smooth mousse without seeds or pulp.
  • Chilling time can be extended up to 4 hours for firmer texture.
  • Serve chilled for the best refreshing experience.
