Method
Preparation of Raspberry Mousse
- Bloom the gelatine by sprinkling it over the cold water in a small bowl. Stir briefly and set aside.
- Process the raspberries into a puree using a food processor or stick blender.
- In a saucepan, combine raspberry puree and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar fully dissolves, then remove from heat.
- Add the bloomed gelatine to the hot raspberry mixture, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Strain the raspberry mixture using a mesh strainer to remove seeds. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken but still forms soft peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled raspberry mixture in batches until combined.
- Spoon or pipe the raspberry mousse into cylindrical silicone moulds. Tap to remove air bubbles.
- Freeze for 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Whipped Cream Topping
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Chocolate Garnish
- Melt the white candy melts and, if desired, tint with oil-based food color.
- Drizzle or pipe melted candy on parchment paper and let it set.
Assembly
- Once set, gently remove the mousse from the moulds and place on serving plates.
- Pipe or dollop the whipped cream on top of each mousse.
- Decorate with chocolate garnish, blueberries, cut strawberries, and sprinkle with freeze dried raspberry powder.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours to thaw before serving. Serve chilled.
Notes
Keep the mousses frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Assembled mousses are best eaten within 24 hours.
