- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Mousse
- 1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water

Raspberry Mousse
- Sprinkle gelatin over cold water, stir and let stand 1 minute.
- Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds or until gelatin is completely dissolved. (Or heat on stove with 1 additional tablespoon of water.) Combine gelatin with preserves. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of whipped cream for mousse and set aside. Refrigerate remainder of cream for topping.
