Berry Lite Mousse
Ingredients:
– 1 cup fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions:
1. Wash and dry the mixed berries, then chop them into small pieces. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top. Add the lemon juice and gently toss the berries to coat. Let the berries sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to whip the cream until it reaches stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Take half of the macerated berries and mash them with a fork to release their juices. Fold the mashed berries into the whipped cream gently until well combined.
4. Spoon a layer of the berry cream mixture into serving glasses or bowls, filling them about halfway. Add a layer of the remaining whole berries on top of the cream.
5. Continue layering the berry cream mixture and berries until the glasses or bowls are filled to your liking. Finish with a dollop of the berry cream on top and garnish with fresh berries.
6. Cover the mousse with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
7. When ready to serve, remove the mousse from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Garnish with additional fresh berries before serving.
