Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus more for garnish

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp gelatin powder
- 3 tbsp water

How to Make Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Microwave the bloomed gelatin for about 10-15 seconds, just until it becomes liquid. Stir it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
- Fold in the fresh raspberries, reserving a few for garnish.
- Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and drizzle with raspberry sauce. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, top each mousse with additional fresh raspberries and a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- Don’t overbeat the heavy cream; stop when soft peaks form for a light mousse.
- For a stronger raspberry flavor, consider adding a few drops of raspberry extract to the cream cheese mixture.
Easy Variations
- Swap raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
- Add a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom of the serving glasses for a cheesecake crust twist.
- Incorporate citrus zest, such as lemon or lime, into the mousse for a refreshing kick.
What to Serve With It
- Pair with a light, crisp white wine or sparkling water for a refreshing drink option.
- Serve alongside a simple fruit salad for a colorful, healthy complement.
- Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed chilled, so there’s no need to reheat.
