Traditional Raspberry Mousse
The holiday season may be over, but some of us aren't ready to forfeit our sweet tooth to the new years resolutions just yet!
This mousse is light, airy, fruity... and feels a little celebratory. Great for entertaining, special occasions (Valentine's Day!)... or any day, really.
Also, this recipe isn't horrible as far as desserts go. It's not a TON of sugar, it's gluten free... it has fruit, dairy, and hey, the eggs count as protein, right?
Good enough!
This recipe is for a traditional mousse, which utilizes fresh, raw egg whites. While this is perfectly safe for the vast majority of the population, pregnant women, the elderly, and immune compromised individuals may want to opt out of this recipe

Interested in Gluten-free cooking and baking? You'll LOVE Beyond Flour: A Fresh Approach to Gluten-Free Cooking and Baking!
How many times have you come across a gluten-free recipe claiming to be “just as good as the normal version!”, only to wind up with weird textures, aftertastes, etc? Most gluten-free recipes are developed by taking a “normal” recipe, and swapping in a simulated “all purpose” gluten-free flour… whether store bought, or a homemade version. “Beyond Flour” takes a different approach: developing the recipe from scratch. Rather than swapping out the flour for an “all purpose” mix, I use various alternative flours as individual ingredients – skillfully blending flavours, textures, and other properties unique to each flour. Supporting ingredients and different techniques are also utilized to achieve the perfect end goal … not just a “reasonable facsimile”. Order your copy here. |
