Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the cranberry mixture by combining fresh cranberries and sugar over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Let it cool.
- Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water in a small bowl and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Heat it gently until dissolved.
- Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Then, add in the vanilla extract and the cooled cranberry mixture.
- Fold the gelatin into the cranberry mousse mixture, ensuring it’s fully incorporated without deflating the whipped cream.
- Layer the vanilla mousse base and cranberry mousse in clear mini dessert cups.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set nicely.
Notes
Optional garnishes include mint, crushed nuts, or chocolate sauce.
