Blackberry Ricotta Mousse Recipes

BEST BLACKBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Blend the blackberries in a food processor with hot water until smooth. Pro tip - The hot water will ensure the seeds blend too.
• Strain through a sieve or mesh. Then add the sugar and salt. Combine well.Pro tip - straining thru a sieve will take away all the fiber and seeds which gives a nicer consistency for the mousse.
• Optional - For a more concentrated flavor, this puree can be reduced to half in a saucepan over medium heatPro tip - if you choose to reduce the puree, you will need to double the number of blackberries in the recipe to make 6 servings.
• Combine the gelatin with the water. Let soak for 3 minutes then heat in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds until completely dissolved. Let cool slightlyPro tip - if you have any white scum on top of the melted gelatin, take it out with a spoon.
• Add the melted gelatin to the blackberry puree. The best way to do this is to add a few tablespoons of puree to the gelatin. Then combine the two.Pro tip - adding a little puree to the gelatin first will temper and prevent the gelatin from becoming lumpy.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment - whip the cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks.
• Then, gently combine the whipped cream and blackberry mixture until you have no more white streaks. This is your blackberry mousse ready
• Divide the mousse evenly between 6 individual glasses. Pro tip - I like to pour the mousse into a piping bag and then pour it into the glasses. This makes it easier to pour and keeps the glasses clean.
• Chill the mousse in the fridge for at least 3 hours - preferably 4 hours or overnight.
• For garnish, you can top with whipped cream and blackberry. I used a fresh blackberry on each.
• Enjoy!

RASPBERRY-RICOTTA MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend the ricotta cheese until light and fluffy, about 20 seconds. Add the jam and pulse until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream until thick. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Working in batches, carefully fold the cream mixture into the ricotta mixture. Spoon the mousse into serving bowls and refrigerate for 1 hour. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.
