5-Minute Fruit Mousse Recipe

 [Photograph: Nila Jones]

Ingredients

• 8 1/2 ounces (about 2 1/4 cups) frozen berries or other fruit
• 2 tablespoons of sugar (or use sugar, honey, maple syrup or stevia extract to taste)
• 1 large egg white
• Fresh berries and whipped cream for serving (optional)

Directions

Add fruit to the bowl of a food processor. Process to a rough puree, about

1 minute.

Add the sugar or another sweetener and pulse briefly to combine. If you're

using a different sweetener, add a small amount at a time to taste.

Add the egg white and process until smooth and fluffy and the mixture

has lightened in color and doubled or tripled in volume, 2 to 3 minutes.

If the mixture clings to the sides of the food processor's bowl too much

(this may happen if the blade doesn't extend all the way to the sides of

the bowl), transfer the mixture to a normal medium-sized bowl and beat

with a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until fluffy.

Spoon the mousse into glasses and top or layer with fresh berries and/or

Whipped cream (optional). Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator

for up to 2 hours (because this mousse has very little sugar in it, it's not

very stable and it won't hold for longer than that).

• Because this mousse is made with frozen fruit, you can make it all year round.
• This mousse makes a great last-minute dessert, because it only takes 5 minutes to make and uses ingredients you can easily keep on hand.
• The egg white helps leaven a fruit puree into a light and fluffy dessert.

Note: This mousse contains raw egg white. Pasteurized egg whites can be used, though the mousse might not turn out quite as fluffy. Those concerned with the health risk of raw eggs should not make or consume this recipe. I call for a little refined sugar in this recipe, but feel free to use honey, maple syrup, or even stevia extract instead, or leave the sweetener out altogether.
