  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Puree raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  2. If using, sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes, then microwave for 10-15 seconds until dissolved.
  3. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the raspberry puree and dissolved gelatin (if using) into the whipped cream until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large bowl, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Notes

For an extra touch, garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint before serving. Ensure the mousse is thoroughly chilled for the best texture.
