Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tbsps cold water
- Fresh raspberries
- Whipped cream
- White chocolate shavings
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Puree Creation: Simmer raspberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan, crushing fruit until liquid forms. Strain through fine-mesh sieve to extract smooth, seed-free mixture, allowing to cool slightly.
- Gelatin Activation: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water, allowing it to bloom for several minutes. Briefly heat in microwave until completely dissolved, then incorporate into warm raspberry puree. Permit mixture to reach ambient temperature.
- Cream Transformation: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract, creating soft, billowy peaks that hold their shape without collapsing.
- Final Integration: Delicately fold raspberry puree into whipped cream, using gentle circular motions to maintain airy texture. Continue blending until uniform color and consistency emerge, ensuring no streaks remain visible.
Notes
- Strain puree carefully to ensure a silky-smooth mousse without seed interruptions, using gentle pressure through fine-mesh sieve.
- Bloom gelatin precisely at room temperature and dissolve completely without overheating to maintain perfect setting consistency.
- Cool raspberry mixture to room temperature before folding into whipped cream, preventing cream deflation and maintaining airy texture.
- Use gentle circular motions when combining raspberry mixture with whipped cream, preserving maximum volume and creating uniform color distribution.
