Chef tips
For a perfectly stable and airy mousse, fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream using slow, gentle motions. This keeps the cream light and fluffy for that ideal texture. Kids will love helping decorate with fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings! For a zesty twist, add some lemon zest to the puree to really make those fruity flavors pop.
