Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries You can use frozen raspberries, but fresh ones are preferred.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Ensure the cream is chilled for better whipping.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust according to your sweetness preference.

  • 2 tablespoons gelatin Use unflavored gelatin.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Puree fresh raspberries in a blender until smooth. Strain if you prefer a seedless mousse.

  4. Gently heat the gelatin mixture in a microwave or double boiler until dissolved, and add it to the raspberry mixture.
  5. Whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  6. Fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream carefully to maintain the airy texture.
