Ingredients

• 300 grams mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 250 milliliters heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams fresh berries (for garnish)
• 1 handful mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries are softened and release their juices.

Step 2

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the berry mixture cool slightly. Use a blender or food processor to puree the berries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 3

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, microwave the gelatin for 10-15 seconds to dissolve completely. Stir and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cooled berry puree until well combined.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the berry puree into the whipped cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 7

Divide the mousse evenly among serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 8

Before serving, garnish each mousse with fresh berries and a mint leaf, if desired.
