Print Recipe

Delightfully light and airy, these Cranberry Mousse Cups combine the tartness of fresh cranberries with creamy mousse, perfect as a refreshing dessert or festive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 envelope (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until cranberries burst and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain to remove seeds; let cool.
  2. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. Warm gelatin gently until dissolved, then stir into the cooled cranberry mixture along with vanilla extract.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the cranberry mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined.
  6. Spoon the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  7. Garnish with fresh cranberries or mint leaves before serving, if desired.

Notes

For a festive touch, sprinkle some crushed pistachios or add a dollop of whipped cream on top before serving.
