Mini Raspberry Mousse Parfaits Recipes

RASPBERRY RHUBARB MOUSSE PARFAIT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. In a blender, puree 4 cups of the raspberries with 1/2 cup of the sugar. Strain the puree into a bowl through a fine sieve.
• Heat the gelatin in a microwave for 10 seconds or so on low power. Whisk the gelatin into the raspberry puree.
• In a large bowl set over a pot of simmering water, whisk the egg whites with the remaining 1/4 of cup sugar until warm to the touch. Remove the bowl from the heat, and using an electric mixer, beat the whites at medium-high speed until stiff and glossy. Fold the egg whites into the raspberry puree.
• Beat the cream until firm. Fold whipped cream into the raspberry mixture. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Stir together rhubarb and sugar in a large saucepan and let sit until rhubarb releases some of its liquid, about 10 minutes.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb has softened but some whole pieces remain, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir grated ginger into rhubarb mixture. Allow to cool completely.
