- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Blackberry Purée Magic
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the blackberries soften and release their juices.
- Blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Fluffy Whipped Cream
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, then continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: Marrying the Flavors
- Gently fold the cooled blackberry purée into the whipped cream, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
Step 4: Chill & Serve Like a Pro
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
- Garnish with fresh blackberries and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
- For a silkier texture, strain the blackberry purée thoroughly.
- Use frozen blackberries if fresh ones aren’t available; thaw and drain excess liquid before cooking.
- For extra indulgence, layer with crushed cookies or cake.
