How To Make raspberry liqueur chocolate mousse

  • Step 1
    Place mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for 15-20 minutes to chill.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; stir with a fork and let stand 1 minute to soften.
  • Step 3
    Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • Step 4
    Sift cocoa through a fine mesh sieve to get the lumps out. In a large mixing bowl stir together sugar and cocoa; add heavy cream. Beat at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Step 5
    Gradually pour in liqueur, vanilla, and gelatin mixture, beating at high speed until well-blended and soft peaks form. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Step 6
    Spoon into serving dishes, top with fresh raspberries (if you wish) and place in refrigerator to chill about an hour or so.
