This is a very simple dessert to make for the whole family. I use fresh raspberries, but you could experiment and use whatever fruit you'd like.
Ingredients
2 cups / punnets fresh raspberries
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp hot water
1 sachet raspberry jelly / or 1 pack raspberry jelly mixed with ½ pint hot water and dissolved
150ml heavy whipping cream / double cream
Instructions
Blend the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and hot water together in a blender
Push mixture through a sieve into a bowl and discard the seeds
Stir in the melted jelly mixture and leave in the fridge to semi set for 2 – 3 hours
Once the raspberry jelly is wobbly but not fully set (ps doesn’t mater too much if it is fully set) whisk it with an electric whisker for 2 minutes until it becomes foamy
Slowly pour the cream in whilst whisking
Keep whisking until it turns thick and mousse like -Approx another 2 minutes
Pour into glasses or a large bowl and return to fridge to leave to set
To set fully will take about 4 – 5 hours, so this is an easy dessert to make the day before
Serve this dish with fresh raspberries on top
For the grown ups perhaps a dash of raspberry liquor and shavings of dark chocolate
Notes
If you want to make a fancier mousse and have a layer of jelly on top, just make a little extra puree, add some melted jelly and pour on top of the mousse once it is set and leave for another few hours to set.
