Blackberry Mousse

A light and fluffy blackberry mousse that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and juicy.
  2. Blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let the purée cool to room temperature.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  4. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the cooled blackberry purée into the whipped cream, keeping the mixture light and airy.
  6. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 120 minutes until set.
  8. Garnish with fresh blackberries and mint leaves before serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh blackberries. Make sure the heavy cream is well chilled for better whipping. Do not overmix after folding in the blackberry purée.
