Description
A no-bake French-inspired dessert with fresh raspberries, gelatin, and whipped cream. Its silky texture and refreshing tangy flavor come from properly balanced fruit acids and stabilized egg whites, making it a guilt-free treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 cups fresh raspberries (unwashed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
10 sheets unflavored gelatin (1 ounce)
1 cup cold whipping cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for cream)
4 large whole egg whites
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Blend half the raspberries with sugar in a food processor until smooth
Soak gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes, then squeeze excess liquid
Mix raspberry puree with dissolved gelatin until fully combined
Chill mixture until just cold to the touch (~30 minutes)
Whip cold whipping cream with sugar using a mixer at medium speed
Beat room-temperature egg whites with lemon juice until stiff peaks form
Fold 1/3 of beaten egg whites into the chilled raspberry mixture
Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites and cream
Transfer to a chilled bowl and refrigerate until set (~4 hours)
Notes
Use agar-agar (1 teaspoon per 2 cups liquid) as a vegan alternative to gelatin
Substitute coconut milk with stabilizer for a dairy-free option
Adjust sugar for sweet raspberry varieties
Unset mousse can be frozen for 20 minutes to speed up chilling
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours
