Description

Delicate mini cakes featuring raspberry mousse with a crunchy pistachio topping, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Chocolate or biscuit base (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the raspberries with half of the sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the berries soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
  3. Sprinkle gelatin over the water in a separate bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes, then heat gently until dissolved.
  4. Whip the heavy cream with the remaining sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  5. Fold the cooled raspberry puree and dissolved gelatin into the whipped cream gently.
  6. Prepare dessert cups with a base if desired, and spoon the mousse mixture on top.
  7. Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.

Notes

These mousse cakes can be made a day in advance. For dairy-free, use coconut cream.
