Happy Valentines Day!
Raspberry Mousse is one of those desserts that just says
I Love You!
This is the perfect dessert that has the lushness of
whipped cream with the tangy sweetness of
fresh raspberries !
Elegance without requiring elaborate techniques!
Lets get "Love Is In The Air" in the kitchen.
In a Purple Dutch Oven tumble in ....
2 cups of fresh Raspberries
1/4 cup of Granulated Sugar
Place the Raspberries on medium heat.
Stir occasionally, allowing the Raspberries to break down
and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Don't use your Designer Wooden Spoons in
the Raspberries, it will stain them
RED!
Raspberry juices right here.
Grab fine mesh strainer in your kitchen drawer.
Press the the Raspberry mixture through, removing the
seeds and leaving a smooth puree.
Pot is empty. :)
Keep pressing and then set it aside to cool completely.
I actually popped it in the freezer for a bit.
Now for the Whipped Cream part.
Measure out 2 cups of your favorite Whipping Cream.
Straus is my favorite!
To the Whipping Cream add in....
2 tbsp of Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp od Vanilla Extract
Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until it forms peaks. Be careful
not to over-whip, or it will turn grainy.
Absolute Whipped Cream Perfection...
Pop this bowl into the fridge till the Raspberries have COOLED.
Yup, enjoy a few licks :)
Grab that empty Straus bottle and make a
Valentine Floral Arrangement :)
On a Pink cutting board slice one lemon in half.
Grab both the Raspberry juices and the seeds.
Squeeze just a bit of lemon juice
into the Raspberry juice.
Sachet to the fridge and get the big bowl of Whipped Cream.
Gently fold the Raspberry puree into the whipped cream,
one-third at a time, until it's fully combined.
Folding Folding Folding.
Just Pretty In Pink.
Find your cute serving glasses.
Fill the bottom of the glasses with a bit of that
Raspberry seed mixture first.
Spoon that light delicious pink Raspberry Mousse into the glasses
Now that the glasses are all full refrigerate them
for at least 2 hours to allow them to firm up
and the flavors to meld.
Little Lick Time :)
Garnish with more Raspberries & Mint.
Now This Is A Valentines Dessert On A Pretty Platter. YUM
This Raspberry Mousse is so much better than getting
FLOWERS!
Don't mind me because I am just devouring my Raspberry Mousse.
This dessert is not only super pretty, but its also super divine.
I am in love.....
Raspberry Mousse is perfect for any occasion, from romantic
dinners to entertaining parties.
Enjoy!
