Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh blackberries
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 egg whites
• 200 milliliters heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Wash the blackberries thoroughly and pat dry. Reserve a few for garnish, if desired.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down into a sauce-like consistency.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Allow the strained blackberry puree to cool completely.

Step 4

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until medium peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled blackberry puree until combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.

Step 7

Next, fold the beaten egg whites into the blackberry mixture in three additions. Combine gently but thoroughly to maintain the mousse's airy texture.

Step 8

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses, bowls, or a freezer-safe container. Smooth the tops using a spatula.

Step 9

Cover the mousse with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step 10

Before serving, let the mousse sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften. Garnish with reserved blackberries or additional whipped cream if desired.
