Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh blackberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Fresh blackberries
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • Prepare the Blackberry Puree:

    • In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries are soft and release their juices.
    • Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the mixture, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the seeds and let the puree cool to room temperature.

  • Whip the Cream:

    • In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

  • Combine the Mousse:

    • Gently fold the cooled blackberry puree into the whipped cream until fully combined, creating a light, fluffy mousse.

  • Assemble the Mousse:

    • Spoon or pipe the blackberry mousse into dessert cups or bowls. Smooth the tops.

  • Chill and Serve:

    • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
    • Garnish with fresh blackberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness: If your blackberries are very tart, add an extra 1-2 tbsp of sugar when cooking the blackberry puree.
  • Make it fancy: Layer the mousse with crushed graham crackers or serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
