RASPBERRY MOUSSE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the Oven to 350˚F.
• Butter a cake pan or springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Beat 3 large eggs with 1/2 cup sugar using the whisk attachment for 6 min (7 min for cold eggs) on high speed.
• Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup flour and fold in gently with a spatula just until all of the flour is incorporated. DO NOT OVERMIX or it won't rise well. Transfer to your prepared cake pan and bake for 23 min. Cool to room temp (I popped it into the freezer 10 minutes to speed up the cooling process).
• In a Small saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen raspberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk together until it's the consistency of a raspberry sauce. Remove from heat and strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve and push on the raspberries with a spoon to separate the juice from the seeds. You want to extract as much of the juice as possible.
• Pour the juice back into the saucepan. Whisk in 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1/2 Tbsp Knox unflavored gelatin and put back over the heat just until the gelatin is dissolved into the raspberry sauce. Refrigerate raspberry sauce until it's room temp. Be careful not to leave it in the fridge too long since the gelatin starts to set quickly.
• Whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. Add 1 1/2 Tbsp confectioners sugar (powdered sugar). Continue beating until firm peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Once the raspberry sauce is cooled to room temp (make sure it's not warm or it wont be spreadable after it's mixed with the whipped cream), use a spatula to fold raspberry sauce into the whipped cream (pour about 1/4 of the raspberry sauce at a time). Spread the raspberry mouse over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight before serving.
• When the mousse is firm enough to decorate, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar until firm peaks form then pipe rounds of whip cream around the perimeter of the cake and decorate with raspberries and tiny basil leaves for effect :)

RASPBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Set a few raspberries aside for garnish. Combine remaining raspberries and confectioners' sugar in a bowl, mix, and set aside for 30 minutes. Pass raspberries through a sieve to strain out seeds. Discard seeds.
• Pour orange juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin on top. Set aside for 1 minute. Heat over low temperature without boiling until gelatin is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from stove, allow to cool slightly and mix with raspberry puree.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until frothy. Add vanilla sugar gradually, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into raspberry puree. Stir in lemon juice and sweeten with more confectioners' sugar if desired. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Garnish with raspberries.

RASPBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Place a mixing bowl and whisk in the fridge to chill while you make the raspberry sauce. You will use the chilled bowl when you whip the mascarpone and cream.
• Place the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a fork or potato masher. Cook, stirring frequently for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Place a strainer over a bowl and pour the raspberry mixture into the strainer. Push the mixture through the strainer to get as much juice and pulp into the bowl as possible. You should have 1-1/4 cups to 1-1/3 cups of sauce in the bowl. Toss out the seeds.
• Measure out 1 cup of the raspberry sauce and place it in a bowl. Save the remaining puree to drizzle over the top of your mousse when you serve it.
• Place 1/4 cup of water in a small microwavable bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top of the water and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the bowl in the microwave for 6 to 12 seconds stopping to stir every 3 seconds until it gets liquified. Do not cook the gelatin mixture too much as high heat will destroy the thickening power of the gelatin.
• Stir the gelatin mixture into the bowl with raspberry puree.
• Add the mascarpone cream and the sugar to a chilled bowl and beat on low speed just until the sugar gets incorporated, about 30 seconds.
• Pour in half of the heavy cream, beat for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture looks liquid. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Pour in the rest of the cream and beat on medium-low speed until the mixture reaches soft peaks.
• Pour in the raspberry/gelatin mixture and beat on medium-low speed until stiff peaks form.
• Divide among six to eight dessert glasses or use as a cake filling. Use any remaining raspberry puree to drizzle on top of the mousse.
• Keep chilled until time to serve. The mousse will thicken even more after 4 to 6 hours in the fridge.
