Description:
Indulge in the delightful fusion of creamy cheesecake and tangy raspberry mousse with this exquisite Olive Garden Raspberry Mousse Cheesecake recipe. Perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a decadent dessert after a weeknight dinner or a show-stopping treat for your next potluck gathering.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 packets gelatin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
Instructions:
-
Filling: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the ingredients thoroughly, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Pour the creamy mixture into a prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Place the cheesecake on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly wobbly.
-
Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
-
Mousse: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl, then stir and let it stand for about 1 minute to soften.
-
Microwave the gelatin mixture on HIGH for 30 seconds or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Alternatively, you can heat it on the stove with an additional tablespoon of water.
-
Combine the dissolved gelatin with raspberry preserves, stirring until well incorporated. Chill the mixture for about 10 minutes.
-
Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
-
Gradually add 2 tablespoons of sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
-
Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream and set it aside for the mousse. Refrigerate the remaining whipped cream for later use as topping.
-
Gently fold the chilled raspberry mixture into the measured whipped cream until evenly combined.
-
Spread the raspberry mousse over the chilled cheesecake, mounding it slightly in the center for a visually appealing presentation.
-
Chill the assembled cheesecake for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
-
To serve, cut the cheesecake into 6 generous slices and top each piece with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream.
