How to make Blackberry Mousse
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.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks.
For a smoother texture, make sure to strain the blackberry puree thoroughly.
