Blackberry Mousse (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Blackberry Mix

01 - 2 cups (300g) fresh blackberries, save a few extra for topping
02 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
03 - 1/4 cup (50g) white sugar

→ Cream Layer

04 - 1 tsp vanilla
05 - 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
06 - 1 cup (240ml) chilled heavy cream

→ Toppings (Optional)

07 - Extra blackberries
08 - Fresh mint sprigs
09 - More whipped cream

# Instructions:

01 - Stir blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice together in a small pot. Let it simmer on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, giving it a mix every now and then until the berries soften up and juices are released. Push the mix through a fine strainer with a spoon to squeeze out all the liquid. Toss out the seeds and wait for the mixture to cool off.
02 - Using a big bowl, whip the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until peaks hold their shape.
03 - Once the blackberry mix isn't warm anymore, lightly fold it into the whipped cream. Do this until the mixture looks airy and smooth.
04 - Scoop or pipe the mousse into small serving dishes, smoothing the tops as needed.
05 - Let the mousse chill in the fridge for about 2 hours until firm. For a finishing touch, use extra blackberries, a splash of whipped cream, and some mint if you like.

# Notes:

01 - Too sour? Mix in 1-2 more tablespoons of sugar when cooking the blackberry filling.
02 - For a fun twist, try layering with crumbled graham crackers or a drizzle of chocolate.
