Apricot Mousse

Bright, silky, and naturally sweet apricot mousse that is light and airy, perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 135 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe apricots, pitted and halved
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Gelatin (optional for extra firmness; amount per packet instructions)

Instructions

  1. Puree the apricots in a blender until smooth; work in a few pulses and scrape the sides so the puree is silky.
  2. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form; stop early to avoid overwhipping.

  4. Add the lemon juice and mix well to brighten the flavor.
  5. Add gelatin if using, dissolving it in warm water per packet instructions and mix until fully dissolved.

Notes

Use ripe apricots for optimal sweetness. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days for best texture.
