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
