How to Make Berry Good Mousse
- **Bloom Gelatin:** In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over orange juice. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- **Dissolve Gelatin:** Warm the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
- **Puree Strawberries:** Hull and roughly chop 1 cup of strawberries. Place in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
- **Sweeten Puree:** Add icing sugar to the strawberry puree and process until well combined and slightly sweetened. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- **Combine Gelatin and Puree:** Transfer the strawberry puree to a large mixing bowl. Gently stir in the cooled gelatin mixture.
- **Whip Cream:** In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- **Whip Egg Whites:** In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- **Fold in Egg Whites:** Gently whisk about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the strawberry mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites and the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- **Chill:** Pour the mousse into 6-cup glass serving bowl or individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
- **Garnish & Serve:** Garnish with fresh strawberries before serving. Enjoy!
