Instructions

Blend raspberries until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberry puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat gently until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let cool.
If using gelatin, sprinkle it over water to bloom for a few minutes, then heat gently until dissolved. Stir into the cooled raspberry mixture.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream until smooth and fully combined.
Spoon or pipe mousse into serving glasses.
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until set.
Serve chilled, garnished with fresh raspberries or mint if desired.
