Step 6
Turn off the heat and let the berry mixture cool for about 5 minutes. During this time, stir the liquid with gelatin. Pour the berry mixture into the bowl of a food processor, add the gelatin liquid, and cover the bowl with the lid. Start beating at high speed for approximately 8–10 minutes, until the mixture turns pale and doubles in volume. Remember, you need to beat the hot berry purée, not the cooled one.

Line a deep container with plastic wrap and be sure to grease it with vegetable oil, otherwise you won't be able to remove it from the berry mousse later. Pour in the whipped mixture and carefully smooth it out evenly. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or better yet, freeze for 40–50 minutes.
