  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for raspberry sauce)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted pistachios (shelled and chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Additional pistachios and raspberries for garnish
  • Optional: raspberry jam or preserves

Instructions

  1. Puree 1 cup of raspberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar, strain to remove seeds, and set aside.
  2. Toast the chopped pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat until aromatic, then cool and chop further if desired.
  3. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the raspberry sauce.
  4. Fold in the toasted pistachios into the whipped cream mixture. Optionally, fold in raspberry preserves for extra sweetness.

  6. Decorate with fresh raspberries, chopped pistachios, and drizzle with raspberry sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for vibrant flavor and color.
  • Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to prevent graininess.
  • Chill thoroughly for a perfect mousse texture.
  • Add layers of raspberry jam or preserves for visual appeal and extra flavor.
