Step-by-Step Instructions for Mothers Day Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse Cups
- Begin by crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin. In a medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until well mixed. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of your serving cups, creating an even layer. Set aside.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- In another mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese along with granulated sugar. Blend these ingredients on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Start by adding one-third of the whipped cream to lighten the mixture, then gradually fold in the remainder.
- Carefully swirl in the fresh raspberries, reserving a few for garnish. Be gentle to maintain some whole pieces.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the prepared graham cracker crusts with the raspberry cheesecake mousse. Smooth the tops for an elegant finish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- After chilling, remove the mousse cups from the refrigerator. Top each cup with the reserved fresh raspberries and serve chilled.
