Ingredients
– 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Double Raspberry Mousse Cups:
1. Prepare Raspberries: In a small bowl, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar. Mash them gently with a fork to release their juices. Set aside.
2. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want a light and airy texture.
3. Blend Cream Cheese: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the lemon juice and mix until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended. This will create a light and fluffy mousse.
5. Add Raspberries: Fold the mashed raspberry mixture into the mousse, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. The mixture should have a beautiful swirled effect.
6. Chill: Spoon the mousse mixture into serving cups or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to set properly.
7. Serve: Once set, garnish with additional fresh raspberries and mint leaves, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
