We love individual desserts like Chocolate Lava Cakes, our famous Panna Cotta, and of course these darling raspberry mousse cups. You won’t want to put your spoon down! I love that there are NO artificial colors or flavors in this raspberry mousse recipe. That beautiful pink is from real raspberries! It is an easy and impressive dessert.

You can even serve this in disposable cups or if you don’t have the little serving cups, you can absolutely layer this raspberry mousse dessert in a trifle dish or a 9×9 square glass pyrex dish and it would still be beautiful and of course, just as delicious!
Ingredients for Raspberry Mousse
The ingredients in this raspberry mousse are so simple! The ingredients are found in most grocery stores and it’s a short grocery list for this recipe.
Raspberries – I use 10 oz frozen raspberries for the mousse and 10-12 oz fresh raspberries for layering and garnishing. Heavy Whipping Cream – be sure it is cold and marked as HEAVY whipping cream which has a higher fat content and will whip easier. Lemon – use a freshly squeezed lemon for the best tasting mousseSugars – use graniulated sugar for the raspberry syrup and powdered or confectioners sugar for whipping the creamGelatin – use unflavored packets of Knox gelatin powder. Most grocery stores carry this in the baking section but you can also buy Gelatin online. Lady Fingers – a dry sponge cookie that absorbs syrups well. These are inexpensive at Winco Foods and Trader Joe’s, or you can buy Lady Fingers online.
Tools You Will Need
If you don’t have a piping bag or frosting tip, you can always use a gallon-sized freezer zip bag and cut off one of the bottom corners to pipe the mousse then spoon on the whipped cream over the top.
Medium Saucepan – with a heavy base Stand Mixer (or electric hand mixer)Frosting Piping Tip – I’m using is a Wilton 1M Piping Bag is an Atecco 12″ flex pastry bag
Make Ahead
We love make-ahead desserts because it makes hosting and entertaining so much less stressful. You can fully assemble, cover and refrigerate overnight so they don’t absorb refrigerator odors. Pro Tip: To ensure the frosting and garnishes look their best, you can also refrigerate the mousse without the whipped cream on top and add that before serving. If you whipped the cream sufficiently until it’s thick and pipeable, it should hold up either way. Raspberry Mousse cups are such a treat – make these for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day or you can serve them at any pink party really! Birthdays, baby showers, you name it! This raspberry mousse is always a hit at parties!
