Raspberry Mousse

 I made raspberry mousse for Christmas Eve. 

According to the recipe, it's easy and only takes 10 minutes prep and 5 minutes of cooking for a total of 1 hour and fifteen minutes. 

The recipe fails to mention that it will take half a dishwasher load of dishes and two small appliances. Nevertheless, for a special occasion, it is worth the effort (though it did take me considerably longer than the recipe claimed).  

I started by cooking the frozen raspberries, sugar and water.

• sauce pan
• wooden spoon
• measuring cups

Then I blended the raspberries until they were smooth and removed the seeds.

• blender
• sieve
• large bowl

Meanwhile I softened the gelatin.

• cereal bowl
• teaspoon

I combine the raspberry mixture with the gelatin and cooked it.

• wisk
• the same saucepan (rinsed to remove any lingering seeds)

Once the raspberry gelatin mixture was cooled, I whipped the cream.

• stand mixer with bowl and beater
• measuring cup

I gently folded the raspberry gelatin mixture in the whipped cream.

• the same large bowl (rinsed)
• spatula

The raspberry mousse is ready!
