This Blueberry Mousse can morph into the sweet summer dessert of your dreams, no matter which flavors you prefer.
Think of this Blueberry Mousse recipe as a blank canvas for your creativity. If you have peaches, plums, apricots, or other jewels from summer’s bounty (or the farmer’s market) hanging out in your kitchen, they’ll all work here. We slip our stone fruits out of their skins to keep the texture smooth and creamy, but you certainly don’t have to. (The skins boast a lot of flavor, texture, and nutrients, after all.) Print
Easy Blueberry Mousse
We cannot overstate how simple this mousse is to make. It has all the sophistication and polish of its fussy ancestor with none of the risks– this recipe will work for you every single time. If you’re looking for a chilled sweet treat, freeze for 50 minutes and the silky-sweet mousse firms into an ethereal sherbet. (But don’t forget about it in the freezer, or you’ll end up with an inedible hunk of ice, not something reminiscent of ice cream.)
