Method
Making the Raspberry Mousse
Prepare the Raspberry Coulis – Blend the raspberries with the sugar using an immersion blender until smooth. If you prefer, use a standard blender or food processor.
Strain the Purée – Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds, yielding about 220 g of raspberry coulis.
Incorporate the Cream – Whisk a quarter of the heavy cream into the coulis to stabilize the mixture.
Whip the Remaining Cream – Beat the rest of the heavy cream until it holds firm peaks.
Fold Gently – Carefully fold the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture using a flexible spatula until fully combined.
Assembling the Cups
Pipe or Spoon the Mousse – Transfer the mousse into a piping bag fitted with a plain tip and fill serving cups. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a spoon to portion the mousse evenly.
Chill to Set – Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the mousse firm up.
Finishing Touches
Prepare the Raspberry Topping – Toss the fresh raspberries with sugar, allowing them to macerate for 10 minutes.
Decorate & Serve – Arrange the sweetened raspberries on top of the chilled mousse. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
