This is super delicious and refreshing! I prefer the refrigerator method with less gelatin, see side note. But this recipe was designed for the "quick" method when you don't have as much time to wait.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, strained
2 1/4 tsps unflavored powdered gelatin (from 1 packet)
1/2 cup sugar
coarse salt
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 cup fresh raspberries or blackberries
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and 1/4 cup cold water. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and let sit until softened, about 2 minutes.
Fill a medium bowl with ice water.
In a small saucepan, combine gelatin mixture, sugar and pinch of salt over medium heat, and stir until gelatin and sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes.
Pour mixture back into a small bowl and set in ice bath to cool. Stir until it reaches room temperature, about 1-2 minutes.
In a large bowl or in mixer, whisk cream until soft peaks form. Pour cooled gelatin mixture into whipped cream and whisk until soft peaks return.
Divide evenly among 4 8-ounce dishes or cups (or 6-8 mini ones) and place in freezer until mousse springs back lightly when pressed, 10 minutes.
Serve topped with berries.
* To make this dessert more ahead of time, reduce the amount of gelatin to 1 1/2 tsps and let the mousse set in the fridge for 1 1/2 hours at least. (I prefer this way)
