A light, fruity mousse with the creamy tang of yoghurt. Perfect for a midweek dessert.
Ingredients
For the mousse
  • 2 gelatine leaves
  • 425g blackberries
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 250ml double cream, whipped
  • 50g greek yoghurt
Vanilla cream
  • 100ml double cream, whipped
  • ½ vanilla pod, split, seeds scraped
  • 2 tsp golden icing sugar
  • handful hazelnuts, toasted
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl filled with cold water, soak the gelatine leaves for 5 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar and 1 tbsp water then bring to a simmer, cooking until the fruit starts to break down. Place a sieve over a bowl, tip in the fruit and push through to remove the pips.
  3. Stir the soaked gelatine into the blackberry juice until dissolved, then set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Fold the blackberry juice through the whipped cream, fold in the yogurt then spoon into glasses and chill for a minimum of two hours.
  5. To serve, fold the vanilla seeds and icing sugar into the whipped cream. Top each mousse with a dollop of cream, a blackberry or two and a sprinkle of hazelnuts.
