Notes

  • Make-Ahead Friendly: This mousse is best when chilled for a few hours before serving.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Add more or less sugar depending on how sweet your raspberries are.
  • Vegan Option: Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and aquafaba instead of egg whites.
  • Get Creative: Layer with crushed cookies or drizzle with chocolate for an extra fancy touch!
