Refreshing Blueberry Raspberry Mousse

         For my grandpas birthday a few months ago we went to a local bar and restaurant called Urge.  After an amazing meal, we ordered a chocolate raspberry mousse cake that had chocolate and raspberry mousse layered with fudgey ganache and chocolate cake.  Yesterday I decided to start with the mousse part of it for an end of school party and eventually create the cake after practice making mousse:
Refreshing Blueberry Raspberry Mousse:
  Ingredients:
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream 
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries 
  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  Instructions:
  1. Place whipping cream in a mixer or bowl with hand held mixer and whip cream, starting on a low speed, slowly working up, then add powdered sugar.  Don't over whip or cream will become butter, stop when whipped cream becomes soft peaks:
  2. Meanwhile, heat blueberries and raspberries in a bowl in microwave or on stove top until juice begins to collect in the bottom, remove and place in blender:
  3. Blend until smooth:
  4. Strain berries into a bowl and mix with gelatin, let sit for 20 minutes:
  5. Carefully fold fruit puree into whipped cream using a rubber spatula, adding only a couple spoon fulls at a time, making sure not to deflate the whipped cream:
  6. Continue adding puree until completely combined:
  7. Spoon into small cups or serving container of choice and let chill for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Top with fresh raspberries and enjoy:
