Instruction
- First prepare the berry sauce so it has time to cool before preparing the berry mousse. In a small saucepan add mixed berries, sugar and lemon juice and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until thickens. Remove from heat and sieve to remove seeds. Dissolve 2 ¼ tsp (7g) gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5 to 10 minutes. Dissolve gelatin in the warm berry sauce. Reserve about ? cup (80g) berry sauce and set aside to cool down until ready to use.
- Prepare the crust. Line the sides of a round 8 or 9 inch (20-23 cm) springform pan with an acetate sheet and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- Place the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor and crush until crumbs form. Add melted butter and lemon zest and mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate until the filling is prepared.
- Prepare lemon yogurt mousse. Dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a bowl mix yogurt with powdered sugar and lemon zest.
- Dissolve gelatin over low heat, pour over the yogurt mixture. Mix to combine.
- In another bowl mix chilled whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture.
