Instructions
Step 1
Start by **soaking the gelatin** in a small bowl with cold water for about 5 minutes. This process ensures that your mousse will set properly. After it has softened, gently heat the gelatin mixture until it is completely dissolved. Be careful not to boil it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine **cream cheese and sugar**, and use a mixer until it becomes creamy and smooth. Gradually add the **fruit puree** and mix until fully incorporated. The vibrant flavor of the puree will be the highlight of your mousse.
Step 3
In another bowl, whip the **heavy cream** until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream adds a delightful lightness to your mousse. Gently fold the whipped cream into the **cream cheese mixture**. Start with a small amount to lighten the mixture before adding the rest.
Step 4
Once your gelatin has cooled but is still liquid, slowly pour it into the mousse mixture while gently folding. This step is crucial as it ensures the gelatin is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. **Make sure not to overmix**, as you want to keep that airy texture.
Step 5
Transfer the mousse into serving glasses or a large bowl and **refrigerate** for at least 2-3 hours. This chilling time allows the mousse to set properly. For best results, chill it overnight if time permits.
Step 6
Once set, garnish the mousse with **fresh berries and mint leaves** for a beautiful presentation. This adds a pop of color and flavor that will impress your guests. Serve and delight in the creamy, fruity goodness of your homemade mousse dessert!
