YOGHURT MOUSSE WITH KARAKA BLACKBERRIES

karaka mousse

Method

  • Place the berries in a small sauce pan and add water and sugar
  • Warm gently to dissolve sugar and to lightly soften the berries and for a syrup to form
  • Cool
  • Add the yoghurt to a bowl and stir to remove any lumps
  • Lift the gelatine out of the water and squeeze out excess moisture
  • Warm the cream and honey in a small saucepan and add the gelatine
  • Remove from the heat and whisk the gelatine until completely dissolved
  • Let it sit for 2 minutes, then slowly pour the gelatine into the yoghurt, stirring constantly to prevent lumps forming
  • Let the yoghurt mixture thicken so that it the consistency is back to thick creamy Greek yoghurt looking
  • This will hold the berries better
  • I like to layer this dessert as it looks fabulous and it evens out the fruit, yoghurt combination
  • To do this I pour even amount of yoghurt into 4 serving glasses, spoon over a little fruit and repeat once again finishing with a layer of berries and any syrup
  • Chill for at least four hours or overnight
  • They can be made a day in advance

Comments

Yoghurt works so well in summer as it’s lighter and more refreshing. Not only does this mousse work wonders for dessert but it’s delicious for breakfast too!
