Description

These berry mousse jars are fun to make and perfect to serve when you want individual servings. A mousse with frozen berries over graham cracker crumbs, topped with whipped cream. And it takes only 30 minutes to make.

Ingredients 

Base

  • 1 cup (85 g) Graham cracker crumbs (6 crackers crushed)
  • 2 tbsp Butter melted (optional)

Mousse

  • 8 oz (226 g) Berries raspberries, strawberries, blackberries
  • 8 oz (226 g) Cream cheese 30% or more fat
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Whipping cream 38% or more fat
  • ¼ cup (50 g) Sugar
  • ½ tbsp Lemon juice

Topping

Instructions

Base

  • Crush the graham crackers in a food processor until bread crumb consistency. Then, transfer to a bowl and add the melted butter. Combine well and set aside.
    Pro-tip - You can also place the crackers in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin instead of a food processor.

Topping

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the whipping cream with sugar to stiff peaks. Transfer to a piping bag with a large star tip. And set aside.
    Pro-tip - I like to do the topping before making the mousse so I don't have to clean the mixer bowl. However, you must whip the topping only if you plan to assemble the jars immediately .

Mousse

  • Crush the berries in a food processor until smooth. Then, strain through a sieve and set aside.
    Pro-tip - Straining will remove all the seed and give a creamier cheesecake filling.
  • In a bowl of the stand mixer, whip the cream cheese and whipping cream with the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
    Pro-tip - You don't need to clean the bowl after you whipped the cream for the base. It can be used for the filling.
  • Add the berry puree and combine well. Set aside.
    Pro-tip - Do not overmix with the berries as we do not want to lose any volume from the whipped cream.

Assemble

  • Add 2 tbsp cookie crumbs to each mason jar or mousse glasses or ramekins. Top with 1/4 cup of the cheesecake filling. Pipe a generous whipped cream swirl on top.
  • Garnish with fresh berries or similar. I use a pink dragee.
  • Enjoy!
