Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup red currants
  • 4 leaves mint leaves

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a blender, puree the 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing with a spatula to extract as much puree as possible.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat the 1 cup heavy cream and 0.25 cup sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. The cream should hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.

  3. 3

    Gently fold the berry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula, until just combined and no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

  4. 4

    Spoon the mousse into 4 serving glasses. Top each with sliced strawberries and red currants, then drizzle with any remaining berry puree. Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes.
