Blackberry Mousse Recipe

A light, fruity, and creamy dessert with a vibrant purple hue and silky-smooth texture. This mousse is refreshingly simple to make and perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries (plus a few extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
  2. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then blend until smooth using a blender or food processor. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar (if using) until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and gently mix.
  4. Once the blackberry mixture is cool, gently fold it into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth. Be careful not to deflate the cream too much.
  5. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Top with fresh blackberries and mint leaves before serving.

Notes

For a vegan version, use coconut cream and plant-based sweetener. Frozen berries also work—just thaw before use. Add orange zest for a citrus twist or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
