Description
A delightful and creamy dessert made with fresh blackberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) fresh blackberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries are soft and release their juices.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the mixture, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the seeds and let the puree cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled blackberry puree into the whipped cream until fully combined, creating a light, fluffy mousse.
- Spoon or pipe the blackberry mousse into dessert cups or bowls. Smooth the tops.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
- Garnish with fresh blackberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust the amount of granulated sugar to taste.
- Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for better whipping results.
- This mousse can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
