LAYERED CRANBERRY MOUSSE



LAYERED CRANBERRY MOUSSE image

Categories     Berry     Dessert

Yield 12 ½ cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1½ cups boiling water
1 pkg. (8-serving size) Jello-O Brand Cranberry Flavor Gelatin, or any red flavor
1 can (16 oz.) whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup cold water
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
2 cups thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping

Steps:

  • STIR boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add cranberry sauce; stir until mixed. Stir in cold water. Pour 2 cups of the gelatin mixture into 6-cup mold. Refrigerate 45 min. or until set but not firm. (Gelatin should stick to finger.) MEANWHILE, stir cinnamon and cloves into remaining gelatin mixture. Refrigerate 30 min. until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Add whipped topping; stir with wire whisk until well blended. Pour over gelatin mixture in mold. REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until firm. Store leftover gelatin in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Properly Prepare the Pan: Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased and floured to prevent the mousse from sticking. Alternatively, line the pan with plastic wrap for easy removal.
  • Chill Before Unmolding: Allow the mousse to chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight before unmolding. This helps it set properly and maintain its shape.
  • Use Fresh Berries: Opt for fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen berries can be used, but make sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly before incorporating them into the mousse.
  • Fold Gently: When incorporating the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture, use a gentle folding motion to prevent deflating the mousse.
  • Chill Before Serving: Once assembled, chill the mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set further.

This layered cranberry mousse mold is a delightful and visually stunning dessert perfect for any occasion. With its combination of sweet and tangy cranberry mousse, creamy vanilla mousse, and delicate pistachio sponge cake, it offers a symphony of flavors and textures that will impress your guests.
