Mascarpone Mousse with Spiced Blueberries

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This mascarpone mousse looks elegant and sophisticated, but it’s truly easy. Trust me, you can do this. Even better, you can do this in a half hour. 

The mousse is light and creamy, which was perfect for a warm spring day. The blueberries include some of my favorite spices: cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, reminding me of a warm blueberry pie . Together it’s so rich and creamy, a small serving will absolutely be enough.

Mascarpone Mousse

My favorite part about eating out is the inspiration. A few weeks ago we went out to a spur of a moment dinner at a new restaurant, Two Fish. While we were incredibly impressed with the entrees, what really stuck with me was the dessert. Mascarpone mousse with a hint of white chocolate, topped with cooked plums and served in a mason jar. I knew I had try to create my own version of mascarpone mousse.

Mascarpone Mousse

I had been eyeing up these small glasses from Crate and Barrel for a long time (over a year, I think), and as soon as I knew I was making this mousse, I knew I had the perfect excuse to buy them. The glasses are just about 3 inches tall, and it was the perfect size. I used a piping bag to easily distribute the mousse into the glasses. You could easily do the same by cutting the corner of a Ziploc bag, or just use a spoon.
