Ingredients
- 1 (3 oz) package flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the gelatin in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Stir in cold water. Refrigerate until the mixture is syrupy and slightly thickened, about 30-45 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar (if using) until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened gelatin mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Divide the mousse among serving dishes and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Tips
- For a lighter mousse, use low-fat whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
- Garnish with fresh fruit or mint leaves before serving.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
