Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 cup Shamrock Farms Heavy Whipping Cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Optional: 2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry powder or a few drops of red food coloring
Instructions
- To a blender, add the raspberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Make sure to press all of the liquid through the sieve.
- To a small saucepan over medium heat, add the raspberry purée and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has reduced by about a third. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- To a small pinch bowl, add the cold water and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Stir until it's completely incorporated, then let it sit for 5 minutes. It should set completely.
- While the raspberry purée is still warm (but not hot!), stir in the gelatin until it's fully dissolved.
- Optional: whisk in the freeze-dried raspberry powder (or a few drops of red food coloring) for extra intense pink color.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until soft-medium peaks form.
- Fold 1/3 of the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream, then gently fold in the rest, mixing very gently just until no streaks of color remain.
- Spoon into glasses or molds (optional: add a dusting of raspberry powder on top) and move to the refrigerator for 3 hours, until fully set.
Notes
Storage: If you don't plan on eating the mousse right away, cover the cups/jars you placed it in with a layer of plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3 to 5 days.
