information
A deliriously rich dessert, Bramble mousse is made with fresh blackberries, sugar and double cream.
ingredients
1/2 kg (1 lb) blackberries, stalks removed and washed
100 g (4 oz) caster sugar
1 tbsp gelatine powder
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp lemon juice
150 ml (1/4 pint) fresh double cream
2 egg whites
100 g (4 oz) caster sugar
1 tbsp gelatine powder
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp lemon juice
150 ml (1/4 pint) fresh double cream
2 egg whites
method
1. Put the blackberries in a saucepan, reserving a few whole ones for decoration. Stir in the sugar and simmer over gentle heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until the blackberries are soft and juicy.
2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatine over the water in a small heatproof bowl. Leave until spongy, then place the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir over low heat until the gelatine has dissolved.
3. Remove the bowl from the pan and stir in the lemon juice.
4. Remove the blackberries from the heat and rub through a sieve into a mixing bowl. Stir in the gelatine mixture and leave the blackberry puree until it is beginning to set.
5. Whip the cream until thick and fold into the blackberry puree. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mousse until thoroughly combined.
6. Spoon into a large serving bowl or individual glasses and chill in the refrigerator until set. Decorate with the reserved blackberries before serving.
