Author: Amber of Dessert Now, Dinner Later
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 3 Tbsp cold water
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ½ cup sugar (or more if you have especially tart berries)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ Tbsp shortening (to thin the chocolate)
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix gelatin with 3 Tbsp cold water. Let stand to dissolve & solidify.
  2. Combine raspberries and sugar in a medium saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm, about 5 minutes. Optional: Gently mash the berries with a potato masher, but keep the texture slightly chunky. Stir in gelatin until it melts/dissolves. Pour mixture into a bowl to cool and set aside.
  3. Combine heavy cream and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whip cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in raspberry mixture. Spoon mousse into 6 dessert goblets. Lightly cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days in advance.
  4. Before serving, melt chocolate with the shortening in a small bowl using short bursts in the microwave. Pour melted chocolate into a zip-top bag and cut off the corner. Zig-zag the chocolate over the top of the set mousse. Garnish with a couple of fresh or frozen raspberries.

    OOh that raspberry mousse looks absolutely divine. I spotted the image at a link party and had to come across. I am a blogger but mainly interior design with the odd recipe or two. I have featured a recipe today though and attracted by your lovely photograph to your site. I have just bought a DSLR and 32mm lense and trying to take nice images myself….I can see I have a long way to go yet.

    Lovely blog

    Hi Liz! Can you tell me how much this makes in cups or ounces? I need to portion into little 5 oz. cups or about 1/3 cup per person. Have you made this by mashing half the raspberries and removing the seeds so the overall dessert is less seedy? Or do you find most people are ok with the amount of seeds? Thanks! Looks good as well as easy and fast.

    Reply
    • Liz Fourez says: December 2, 2015 at 9:00 am

      Hey Loni! This was a guest post from another blogger, so I’m not sure exactly how much it will make! I think most people would probably be okay with the amount of seeds, but you could definitely run the mash through a fine strainer to remove some of them!

    So my brother is getting married and his fiance wanted some raspberry mousse for the wedding. I tried this recipe out the other day and she loved it! Super yummy! Now my question is, I’m trying to get as much cooking done in advance as possible, do you know if I made the raspberry/gelatin base, would it keep for about 2 weeks, so that I could just add it to the whipped cream the night before the wedding?

    Reply
    • Liz Fourez says: May 10, 2016 at 2:57 pm

      Hey Abbie! This recipe was written by a past contributor, so I can’t say for sure. I know the recipe says you are able to make the mousse up to 2 days in advance. I would assume the gelatin mixture could be prepped at least a little bit in advance. I would just recommend testing it out first before the big day! 🙂

You know that book about the horrible no good, ver You know that book about the horrible no good, very bad day? That was yesterday over here. 😂 I won’t go through the list of terrible bad things that ended with needing a generator at almost 11 pm, only to have power restored approximately 5 minutes after finally getting said generator... 🤦🏼‍♀️

because things always could have been worse & after a good night of sleep, my attitude for this new day is much better. I have a Spring Market to prepare for at @lovegrowswildmarket this weekend, some fun projects coming up next week, and I have POWER today so I can accomplish all the things. Life is good!

Tell me I’m not the only one who occasionally has one of those “I couldn’t make this up if I tried” horrible no good very bad days...

Taking out an old chimney to make room for a pantry cabinet and opening up the wall between the living room & kitchen were two of the biggest changes we made, and I’m so glad I committed to making those projects happen... despite concerns from my contractor that this would limit the space for a massive tv in the living room. 🤦🏼‍♀️
