How to make a fruit mousse
Just follow these simple steps to make the fruity mousse cups.

- Add sweetened raspberry liquid to cream mixture.

Jennie
if adding the cream cheese, add it to the raspberry mash first? ( not the whipped cream, right ?)
Lisa MarcAurele
You’ll want to beat the cream cheese and fold the whipped cream into it as well as the raspberry mash.
Karen
I’m finding I have issues with dairy. Do you think taking the top layer from a couple cans of refrigerated overnight coconut milt would work?
Lisa MarcAurele
Coconut cream should work in place of the heavy cream, but it does get much harder when chilled.
Linda Adkins
Where is the chocolate sauce recipe for the mousse?

Teresa
Could you use blueberries?
Lisa MarcAurele
Any berry should work.
Kris Clothier
How far ahead could you make this?
Lisa MarcAurele
There should be no issue in making this a day or two in advance. I also see no reason why it couldn’t be made in advance and frozen to thaw later.
Andrea
What brand of Stevia do you use? I was using Stevia in the Raw but noticed it includes maltodextrin, so I’m looking for a new brand.
Lisa
I like to use Now Better Stevia, NuNaturals liquid or powder concentrate, and SweetLeaf stevia drops. I also like stevia glycerite made by Now.
Joan McCallum
hoe much is in an envelope of gelatin? I only use the loose Great Lakes grains of gelatin…by te way..if you say a tablespoon remember that tablespoon measurement differ in different countries..eg in Australlia a tbls equals 20 gras, mils while in USa a tblspn is 15 mil/grams,
Lisa
One gelatin packet is about 1 tablespoon or 7 grams.
