  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 g) fresh blackberries (plus extra for garnish)

  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar

  • Fresh blackberries for topping

  • Whipped cream for garnish

  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Blackberry Puree: In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries are soft and juicy.

  • Strain the Mixture: Pour the cooked berries through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Press with a spoon to extract as much juice and pulp as possible. Discard the seeds. Let the puree cool completely at room temperature.

  • Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Do not over-whip.

  • Fold the Puree into Cream: Gently fold the cooled blackberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula. Continue folding until evenly combined and fluffy.

  • Assemble the Mousse: Spoon or pipe the mousse into dessert glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops if needed.

  • Chill the Dessert: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set properly.

  • Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top with fresh blackberries, a swirl of whipped cream, and mint leaves for decoration.

Notes

  • You can substitute blackberries with raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries.

  • For a vegan option, use plant-based whipped cream and vegan gelatin for extra stability if needed.

  • Prepare ahead of time; mousse tastes even better after resting overnight in the fridge.
