Notes:

  • You can use thin layer of vanilla or chocolate sponge cake as the base of the mousse cake.
  • Straining the berry puree helps to remove any chunks and to get a smooth mousse cake.
  • Do not boil the berry puree after adding the gelatin. If you boil the gelatin, the mousse will not set properly.
  • You can avoid the process of reserving berry puree without adding cream and using it later. I did that to have a pattern to the cake.
  • You can add sugar as per your taste buds. Adding more sugar will over power the taste of the blueberries.
