BEST BLACKBERRY MOUSSE
A blackberry mousse is a great way to enjoy summer berries. Made with fresh or frozen blackberries, whipped cream, and gelatin (or agar-agar) this gets done in less than 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Blend the blackberries in a food processor with hot water until smooth. Pro tip - The hot water will ensure the seeds blend too.
- Strain through a sieve or mesh. Then add the sugar and salt. Combine well.Pro tip - straining thru a sieve will take away all the fiber and seeds which gives a nicer consistency for the mousse.
- Optional - For a more concentrated flavor, this puree can be reduced to half in a saucepan over medium heatPro tip - if you choose to reduce the puree, you will need to double the number of blackberries in the recipe to make 6 servings.
- Combine the gelatin with the water. Let soak for 3 minutes then heat in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds until completely dissolved. Let cool slightlyPro tip - if you have any white scum on top of the melted gelatin, take it out with a spoon.
- Add the melted gelatin to the blackberry puree. The best way to do this is to add a few tablespoons of puree to the gelatin. Then combine the two.Pro tip - adding a little puree to the gelatin first will temper and prevent the gelatin from becoming lumpy.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment - whip the cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks.
- Then, gently combine the whipped cream and blackberry mixture until you have no more white streaks. This is your blackberry mousse ready
- Divide the mousse evenly between 6 individual glasses. Pro tip - I like to pour the mousse into a piping bag and then pour it into the glasses. This makes it easier to pour and keeps the glasses clean.
- Chill the mousse in the fridge for at least 3 hours - preferably 4 hours or overnight.
- For garnish, you can top with whipped cream and blackberry. I used a fresh blackberry on each.
- Enjoy!

FROZEN LEMON MOUSSE
Steps:
- Cut 2-inch holes out of the bottom of a large tin foil roasting pan in neat rows, leaving 1 to 2 inches in between the holes. Invert the pan and place paper cooler cups in the holes to hold them upright during freezing.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan combine the lemon juice, sugar, yolks, egg, and butter. Over medium heat, whisk the mixture constantly until thickened. Strain it into a bowl set over ice and chill it, stirring to thicken slightly. Fold in the whipped cream and pour or pipe into paper cones set in the prepared tin foil roasting pan. Freeze overnight. Peel off the paper and serve the cone flat side down and serve with berries.
- In a small saucepan bring water, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil. Add blackberries and turn off the heat. Fish the berries out of the hot liquid with a slotted spoon, and transfer them to a plate in a single layer and allow to cool.

FROZEN BLACKBERRY MOUSSE
One of my favorite summer treats! I remember searching the woods for enough blackberries for my mother to make Blackberry Mousse. She would spread it in a pyrex dish and scoop it out with an ice cream scoop. I like to use the muffin tins. After they are frozen you can take them out of the pan and put them in large ziplock freezer bags and take them out as individual servings. It is best if you let them thaw slightly before eating.
