Creamy and indulgent, yet light and airy! Tart and sweet, and extremely delicious! Can you guess what it is? It is our simple 5-ingredient (plus water) Refined Sugar Free Cranberry Mousse, that uses Frozen Cranberries! If you have a sieve and a whisk, you are perfectly equipped to make this simple mousse!
Place cranberries and 75 ml of water in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for approx. 10-15 minutes, until cranberries split, soften and release their juices.
Place leaf gelatine sheets in a bowl with cold water and soak for 5-10 minutes.
Press cranberries through a wire sieve, getting as much of the pulp as possible (don't forget to scrape the bottom of the sieve). Discard cranberry skins left in the sieve.
Whilst the cranberry pulp is still hot, add the squeezed out gelatine sheets and stir until fully disscoved. If it's no longer hot enough, heat it up in a microwave (ensure your bowl is microwave safe) or on the hob. If your pulp isn't hot enough you will end up with bits of gelatine that's not fully dissolved.
Stir in the honey and leave the mixture to cool down to room temperature (but not much longer, as the gelatine will set the mixture).
Whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold into cranberries to combine.
In a separate bowl whip double cream to soft peaks, then carefully fold into the cranberry mixture, stirring until combined.
Spoon the mousse into 4 (or 6 small) glasses and place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.
Serve decorated with whole cranberries and a sprig of mint!
