This Raspberry Mousse is unique, healthy, refreshing and delicious. Easy to make, this fruit mousse is also paleo, gluten free and dairy free!
I decided to get creative with this mousse and make it in a completely different way, and with a blend of very unique ingredients.
The result?
A fruity, creamy, tangy yet sweet raspberry mousse. A light dessert perfect for cooling these warm summer days.
Most traditional mousse recipes use whipping cream to give it that fluffy, smooth consistency. This is a delicious way to make mousses, but it's not the only way.
My mousse is unique because I use macadamia nuts instead. The nuts create that same texture and mouthfeel of heavy whipping cream, while also enhancing the flavor of the fresh raspberries.
This elegant dessert is simple and fast to make. It's a great way to impress your guests and use those beautiful organic raspberries that are in season.
