This light and creamy mousse is an elegant way to finish a meal, bringing together seasonal freshness with indulgent texture. Whether for a dinner party or a simple weeknight treat, it’s proof that sometimes the simplest recipes are the most memorable.
Ingredients:
– 2 SummerStar Ruby Grapefruits
– 1 cup heavy cream (or double cream)
– Quarter cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
– Zest of 1 SummerStar Ruby Grapefruit
Instructions:
- Prepare the SummerStar Ruby – Peel the grapefruits and segment them by cutting between the membranes to release the individual wedges. Place aside in a bowl. Optionally, juice one grapefruit for extra flavour.
- Make the Mousse – Whisk the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Add Flavours – Fold in the chopped mint leaves, grapefruit zest, and lemon juice (if using). For added brightness, mix in a splash of grapefruit juice.
- Assemble – Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Top with grapefruit segments and drizzle any leftover juice.
- Garnish & Serve – Finish with fresh mint leaves for colour and fragrance.
- Chill – Refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving to allow the mousse to set and the flavours to meld.
