Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mash 1 cup of the raspberries with a fork until saucy. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, beat the 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until smooth, then gently fold in the mashed raspberries to create a swirled mousse.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the mousse into 2 serving glasses, layering with the remaining 1 cup whole raspberries. Top with extra whipped cream if desired.

  5. Step 5

    Chill for 10 minutes before serving, or serve immediately. Garnish with fresh berries and mint if you like.
