Creamy Blackberry Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Blackberry Blend
01 -
1 tbsp of lemon juice
02 -
2 cups (300g) ripe blackberries (set aside a few extra to decorate)
03 -
1/4 cup (50g) white sugar
→ Cream Topping
04 -
1 tsp of vanilla essence
05 -
1/4 cup (30g) confectioners’ sugar
06 -
1 cup (240ml) chilled heavy cream
→ Optional Decorations
07 -
A small handful of blackberries
08 -
Mint sprigs
09 -
A little whipped cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice into a small pot. Warm it on medium heat, stirring every now and then, for around 5-7 minutes until juicy and gooey. Pass it through a fine strainer, squashing the berries with a spoon to get all the liquid out. Toss the leftover seeds. Let the liquid cool completely.
02 -
In a big bowl, take the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip it up until stiff peaks form—it should hold its shape nicely!
03 -
Fold the cooled-down blackberry sauce gently into the whipped cream. Mix it lightly until it’s airy and well-mixed.
04 -
Scoop or pipe the mousse into bowls or cups. Smooth out the tops so they look good.
05 -
Pop the mousse in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Once set, you can add blackberries, a bit of whipped cream, and mint leaves if you like before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
If the blackberries are really sour, toss in an extra spoon or two of sugar while boiling them.
02 -
For a fun twist, add layers of crushed cookies or drizzle with chocolate syrup when serving.
