Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Raspberry Mousse
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh raspberries with sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir gently for about 5-7 minutes, until the raspberries soften and release their juices, becoming a vibrant puree. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  2. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the raspberry mixture in. Press through the sieve to eliminate seeds and achieve a smooth raspberry puree.
  3. In a separate small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it absorbs the water and becomes thickened.
  4. Gently heat the strained raspberry puree in a saucepan over low heat, just until warm. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Carefully add the whipped cream to the cooled raspberry mixture in batches, folding gently until just blended.
  7. Divide the raspberry mousse into small serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
  8. Once set, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves before serving.
