Ingredients
Scale
2 cups fresh blackberries (plus extra for garnishing)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons gelatin powder
3 tablespoons cold water
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by rinsing the blackberries under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel. In a blender or food processor, puree the blackberries until smooth. If desired, strain the puree to remove the seeds for a silkier texture.
Transfer the berry puree to a bowl. Add in the sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved. This sweetness will balance the tartness of the blackberries beautifully.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom, then microwave for about 10 seconds until it’s fully dissolved. Be careful not to overheat the gelatin.
Gradually stir the dissolved gelatin into the blackberry mixture, mixing thoroughly to incorporate fully.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want it fluffy but not dry.
Gently fold in the whipped cream into the blackberry mixture. This step is crucial as it adds lightness to your mousse. Once combined, pour the mixture into serving glasses or bowls.
Cover the glasses and place them in the fridge for at least 2 hours, allowing the mousse to set. This chilling time is essential for achieving the perfect texture.
