Easy Raspberry Mousse Cups Recipe

These raspberry mousse cups feature a creamy mousse made from fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and a hint of vanilla. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and sets in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon gelatin powder
3 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for sweetening whipped cream)

Instructions

Prepare the Raspberries: In a blender, puree the fresh raspberries with granulated sugar until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the seeds, if desired.
Dissolve Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. Then, heat it gently in the microwave or over a double boiler until fully dissolved.
Combine Mixtures: In a large bowl, combine the raspberry puree with the dissolved gelatin and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. If desired, add powdered sugar to sweeten the whipped cream.
Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Garnish with additional raspberries before serving.
