Ingredients

  • 250 g Fresh raspberries (Reserve 6‑7 raspberries for decoration)
  • 4 feuilles Gelatin sheets (To rehydrate in cold water then squeeze)
  • 25 cl Whole fresh cream (double cream) (Must be very cold, ideally taken out of fridge 30 min before)
  • 60 g Granulated sugar
  • 2 cuillères à soupe Water

Instructions

  1. Rehydration of the gelatin

    Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water and let soak for 5 minutes. Then gently press to remove excess water.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Preparing the coulis (pre‑cooking)

    Pour the raspberries into the small saucepan, add the sugar and the 2 c. à s. d'eau. Stir quickly.

    Time: PT2M

  3. Cooking the coulis

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 7 minutes while crushing the fruit with the spatula to release their juice.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: medium heat

  4. Filtering the coulis

    Pass the mixture through a fine‑mesh sieve, pressing with the spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the seeds and remaining pulp.

    Time: PT3M

  5. Incorporating the gelatin

    Return the filtered coulis to the saucepan, add the squeezed gelatin sheets and whisk until fully dissolved.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Cooling the coulis

    Leave the coulis at room temperature until it is warm (about 10 minutes).

    Time: PT10M

  7. Whipping the cream

    Pour the very cold cream into the pre‑chilled bowl, add the cold whisk and whisk until firm peaks form.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: cold

  8. Incorporating the coulis into the whipped cream

    Add half of the warm coulis to the whipped cream and, using a spatula, make gentle circular motions to incorporate without breaking the air bubbles.

    Time: PT3M

  9. Plating in glasses

    Divide the mousse into the glasses or small ramekins, smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

    Time: PT5M

  10. Chill

    Place the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (ideally overnight) so the mousse sets.

    Time: PT6H

    Temperature: 4°C

  11. Finishing and serving

    Just before serving, decorate each glass with a whole raspberry on top.

    Time: PT2M
