Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup cold water
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin Knox * see note

  • ¼ cup organic sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 cups heavy cream * see note

  • In a small saucepan, add the cold water.
  • Mix in the gelatin and allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes.

  • Bring to boil on medium heat.
  • Turn down the heat to low and boil for 5 minutes.
  • Pour mixture into a Vitamix or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • (This reduces the raspberry seeds.)

Notes

  1. I do not recommend using Half and Half. Be sure you are using heavy whipping cream
  2. You can use vanilla extract if you can't find vanilla beans.
  3. Feel free to use regular gelatin or a vegan substitute.
  4. This mousse will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
