A blackberry mousse is a great way to enjoy summer berries. Made with fresh or frozen blackberries, whipped cream, and gelatin (or agar-agar) this gets done in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
2cups(288g)Blackberries(fresh or frozen thawed)
½cup(100g)Granulated sugar
1½tsp(6g)Unflavored gelatin
2tbspCold water
1cup(240ml)Heavy cream
1tspPure vanilla extract
PinchSalt
Instructions
Bloom - In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and cold water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to bloom.
1½ tsp Unflavored gelatin, 2 tbsp Cold water
Puree - In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh blackberries until smooth. If using frozen blackberries, make sure they are thawed before pureeing. Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired, to get a smooth texture. Set aside.
2 cups Blackberries
Reduce - Heat the blackberry puree and granulated sugar and salt in a saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat once done.
½ cup Granulated sugar, Pinch Salt
Combine - Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm blackberry mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Allow the blackberry mixture to cool to room temperature.
Fold - Whip the heavy cream in a separate mixing bowl with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the blackberry mixture until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and gently fold until fully incorporated.
1 cup Heavy cream, 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Chill - Carefully divide the blackberry mousse mixture among 6 serving cups or dessert glasses. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4 hours or until it is set. It's even better if left in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
Garnish - Before serving, you can garnish the blackberry mousse with a few fresh blackberries or a sprig of mint if desired.
