Steps:
- In a pan of simmering water, add the mixture of frozen berries and half the amount of sugar. Cook the berries until they feel soft.
- When the berries are soft, turn off the heat. Drain, keeping the juice. With the drained berries, using a processor, pulse the berries into a thick mixture, pour into a bowl and leave to cool
- Separate the eggs. Using the egg whites only and the 1/2 - 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice (depending on your own taste), in a clean food processor whisk until soft peaks form. At this stage add the last of the sugar. Whisk until firm peaks form - when the whisk leaves deep markings in the white mixture.
- Add 1 spoonful of the egg white to the mixed berries. stir the egg white in quickly until all combined.
- Now gradually fold the rest of the whites into the berry mixture. Do this slowly and carefully. Doing this too quickly will knock out all the air from the whites. Do not combine all the mixture, leave some of the whites still showing.
- To serve, spoon the mixture into 4 tall glasses. Leave to set for 2-3 hours in the fridge. You can leave them to set over night. Once set drizzle the kept berry juice over the mousse, and top with fresh berries. The berry juice is also ideal for making smoothies, Jelly, and ice cream with :) enjoy.

Tips:
- Use frozen berries for a richer flavor. Fresh berries can be used, but frozen berries will give your mousse a more intense flavor since freezing intensifies the natural flavors of fruits.
- Thaw frozen berries before using them. This will help them blend more smoothly and evenly into the mousse.
- Use fresh lemon juice for a brighter flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but fresh lemon juice will give your mousse a more vibrant flavor.
- Do not overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeaten whipped cream will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
- Chill the mousse before serving. This will help it set and firm up.
- Garnish the mousse with fresh berries or mint leaves before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This light berry mousse is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant flavor and creamy texture, this mousse is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
