Ingredients
  

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 cup heavy cream, chilled

1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Extra mixed berries, for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berries: In a small bowl, gently mix the assorted berries together. If you prefer a more textured experience, use a fork to lightly mash half of the berries, allowing their juices to release, while leaving the remaining berries whole for layering.

    Make the Mousse Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, free of lumps.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl that has been chilled, pour in the heavy cream. With an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. This process should take about 2-3 minutes; be careful not to over-whip, as this can lead to a grainy texture.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. Aim for a delicate motion to keep the mixture light and airy—this preserves the volume and fluffiness of the whipped cream.

          Layer the Cups: In individual serving cups, begin by placing a layer of the mixed berries at the bottom. Spoon a generous layer of mousse on top, then repeat the layers of berries and mousse until each cup is filled, finishing with a top layer of the silky mousse.

            Chill: Cover the mousse cups with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 2-3 hours. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the mousse to set perfectly.

              Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, pop a few fresh berries and a sprig of mint on top of each mousse cup for a delightful finishing touch. Enjoy the blissful combination of creamy mousse and fresh fruity goodness!
