Description

 

This light and fluffy Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse is the perfect dessert for any occasion. With a creamy cheesecake base and a fresh raspberry swirl, it’s a refreshing and indulgent treat that’s sure to impress!


Ingredients

Scale

For the cheesecake mousse:

  • 250 grams cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • A pinch of salt

For the raspberry swirl:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Make the raspberry swirl:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
    • Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, you can strain the mixture to remove the seeds, or leave them in for texture.
  • Prepare the cheesecake mousse:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Add the sour cream and a pinch of salt, and fold again until well combined.
  • Assemble the mousse:
    • Spoon the cheesecake mousse into serving dishes or glasses.
    • Drizzle the cooled raspberry swirl over the top of the mousse and swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer for a marbled effect.
  • Chill the mousse:
    • Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and chill.
  • Serve:
    • Serve the mousse chilled, optionally garnished with fresh raspberries, a mint leaf, or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for added texture.

Notes

  • For a smoother raspberry swirl, you can blend the raspberries before cooking.
  • If you want a sweeter mousse, you can add more powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture to taste.
  • This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • You can also use other berries like blueberries or strawberries for a different flavor
