RASPBERRY MOUSSE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the Oven to 350˚F.
• Butter a cake pan or springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Beat 3 large eggs with 1/2 cup sugar using the whisk attachment for 6 min (7 min for cold eggs) on high speed.
• Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup flour and fold in gently with a spatula just until all of the flour is incorporated. DO NOT OVERMIX or it won't rise well. Transfer to your prepared cake pan and bake for 23 min. Cool to room temp (I popped it into the freezer 10 minutes to speed up the cooling process).
• In a Small saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen raspberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk together until it's the consistency of a raspberry sauce. Remove from heat and strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve and push on the raspberries with a spoon to separate the juice from the seeds. You want to extract as much of the juice as possible.
• Pour the juice back into the saucepan. Whisk in 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1/2 Tbsp Knox unflavored gelatin and put back over the heat just until the gelatin is dissolved into the raspberry sauce. Refrigerate raspberry sauce until it's room temp. Be careful not to leave it in the fridge too long since the gelatin starts to set quickly.
• Whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. Add 1 1/2 Tbsp confectioners sugar (powdered sugar). Continue beating until firm peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Once the raspberry sauce is cooled to room temp (make sure it's not warm or it wont be spreadable after it's mixed with the whipped cream), use a spatula to fold raspberry sauce into the whipped cream (pour about 1/4 of the raspberry sauce at a time). Spread the raspberry mouse over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight before serving.
• When the mousse is firm enough to decorate, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar until firm peaks form then pipe rounds of whip cream around the perimeter of the cake and decorate with raspberries and tiny basil leaves for effect :)

RASPBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Set a few raspberries aside for garnish. Combine remaining raspberries and confectioners' sugar in a bowl, mix, and set aside for 30 minutes. Pass raspberries through a sieve to strain out seeds. Discard seeds.
• Pour orange juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin on top. Set aside for 1 minute. Heat over low temperature without boiling until gelatin is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from stove, allow to cool slightly and mix with raspberry puree.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until frothy. Add vanilla sugar gradually, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into raspberry puree. Stir in lemon juice and sweeten with more confectioners' sugar if desired. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Garnish with raspberries.

RASPBERRY MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Lightly coat a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Arrange graham crackers in an even layer in pan, breaking them to fit as necessary. Place lemon juice in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let sit until gelatin softens, 3 minutes. In a blender, puree 2 cups raspberries until smooth, scraping down bowl as needed. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing on solids (you should have about 1 cup of puree); discard solids.
• In a small saucepan, combine raspberry puree and 1/2 cup sugar over medium. Cook until bubbles form at edge. Add gelatin mixture and cook, stirring constantly, just until gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature, 20 minutes. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and 2 tablespoons sugar on medium-high until firm peaks form, about 4 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in raspberry puree mixture until combined. Pour over graham crackers. Smooth top with an offset spatula and arrange 3 cups raspberries on top. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours (or up to overnight).
• Using parchment, gently lift pie out of pan and place on a serving plate. Peel away parchment from sides of pie; trim excess paper with scissors or a sharp knife. Cut into 12 pieces to serve.

RASPBERRY MOUSSE FOR CAKE FILLING

Steps:

• METHOD Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a 1-1/2 quart saucepan. Let it sit for 3 or 4 minutes to soften then stir in 1/2 cup boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons sugar, the salt and the berry puree. Taste and add more sugar if need be. Set the pan over low heat and stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer the fruit mixture into a medium size bowl and stir in the fruit flavored liqueur. Set the bowl over ice water and stir or whisk for 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens. As soon as it thickens remove from the ice water. With a chilled bowl and chilled beaters whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the cream into the berry mixture. TIP: Make a dam around each cake layer with buttercream before adding your cake filling recipe, especially a mousse. The dam will help to hold the layers together once refrigerated and prevent the filling from seeping through. If you are crunched for time try folding heavy cream with a raspberry preserve as a substitute for the mousse.

RASPBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Place a mixing bowl and whisk in the fridge to chill while you make the raspberry sauce. You will use the chilled bowl when you whip the mascarpone and cream.
• Place the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a fork or potato masher. Cook, stirring frequently for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Place a strainer over a bowl and pour the raspberry mixture into the strainer. Push the mixture through the strainer to get as much juice and pulp into the bowl as possible. You should have 1-1/4 cups to 1-1/3 cups of sauce in the bowl. Toss out the seeds.
• Measure out 1 cup of the raspberry sauce and place it in a bowl. Save the remaining puree to drizzle over the top of your mousse when you serve it.
• Place 1/4 cup of water in a small microwavable bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top of the water and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the bowl in the microwave for 6 to 12 seconds stopping to stir every 3 seconds until it gets liquified. Do not cook the gelatin mixture too much as high heat will destroy the thickening power of the gelatin.
• Stir the gelatin mixture into the bowl with raspberry puree.
• Add the mascarpone cream and the sugar to a chilled bowl and beat on low speed just until the sugar gets incorporated, about 30 seconds.
• Pour in half of the heavy cream, beat for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture looks liquid. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Pour in the rest of the cream and beat on medium-low speed until the mixture reaches soft peaks.
• Pour in the raspberry/gelatin mixture and beat on medium-low speed until stiff peaks form.
• Divide among six to eight dessert glasses or use as a cake filling. Use any remaining raspberry puree to drizzle on top of the mousse.
• Keep chilled until time to serve. The mousse will thicken even more after 4 to 6 hours in the fridge.

RASPBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• To make the filling, combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small nonreactive, heavy saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add 1 1/3 cups of the raspberries and return to a boil without stirring. Transfer to a small bowl and allow to cool completely. Add the vodka. Cover and refrigerate.
• To make the mousse, puree the 2 cups of raspberries in a blender and set aside. Sprinkle the gelatin into 1/4 cup of cool water and set aside for 3 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar and the corn syrup into a small, heavy saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Insert a candy thermometer.
• Meanwhile, place the egg whites into the bowl of a mixer and whip until they form soft peaks. When the sugar water has reached 250 degrees, pour it down the sides of the bowl (not directly onto the beaters) into the egg whites while continuing to whip. Add the gelatin mixture and continue to whip until the outside of the bowl is warm, but not hot, about 5 minutes, and the meringue is stiff and glossy.
• Pour the heavy cream into a large mixing bowl and whisk until it forms soft peaks. Fold half of the raspberry puree into the whipped cream and the other half into the meringue, being careful not to deflate either mixture. Fold the meringue and whipped cream together until combined.
• Place the mousse in a pastry bag with a large opening, and pipe the mousse into twelve nonreactive cup molds, filling them halfway. Spread the mousse up the sides of the mold. Place a spoonful of the filling into the center of each mold and top with more mousse. Place the molds in the refrigerator to set for at least 3 hours. To serve, drizzle each plate with raspberry syrup, and unmold the mousses in the center of each plate and serve with a dollop of mascarpone on the side.
