Ingredients
  

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 cup heavy cream, chilled

1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Extra berries, for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berries: In a small bowl, combine the mixed berries. If desired, mash half of the berries slightly with a fork to release some juice, and leave the rest whole for layering later.

    Make the Mousse Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until smooth and creamy.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. Be gentle to keep the mousse light and airy; the goal is to retain the volume of the whipped cream.

          Layer the Cups: In individual serving cups, start by adding a layer of the mixed berries at the bottom. Spoon in a generous layer of the mousse mixture on top. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of mousse.

            Chill: Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.

              Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each mousse cup with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for a pop of color. Enjoy the delightful balance of creamy and fruity flavors!
