I dont make desserts very often. I love dessert and I always order one when out in a restaurant.
Would be nice to have one after for instant sunday dinner and there is lots of delicious desserts to choose from. This blueberry mousse is not very sweet so I figured a white chocolate mousse on top would be a good idea. I have used frozen blueberries.

6 servings
Blueberry mousse
2 sheets leaf gelatin (or 1/2 tbsp powdered gelatin)
0.8 cups double cream
3 tbsp icing sugar
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
3/4 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
White chocolate mousse
2/3 cup double cream
3 oz white chocolate
Thaw the blueberries if you are using frozen.
Beat double cream and 2 tablespoons icing sugar on medium-high until firm peaks form.
Purée the blueberries with a blender, add 1 tbsp icing sugar and cardamom. Stir and set aside.
If using gelatin sheets, place them in a small bowl with cold water to cover.
Let stand for about five minutes to soften. Squeeze out the excess water and melt
carefully in a saucepan or in the microwave.
Pour the melted gelatin in a stream into the blueberries and mix well.
With a rubber spatula, gently fold in blueberry puree into the whipped cream until combined.
Divide mousse into 6 individual dessert cups. Put in the fridge to set at least 2-3 hours.
Meanwhile make the white chocolate mousse. Beat double cream until it forms soft peaks.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over gently simmering water.
Let cool for a minute and mix with a little of the cream until well combined.
Then mix in rest of the cream. Spoon the mousse on top of the blueberrymousse and put in the fridge
to set at least one hour.
Top each dessert cup with some blueberries and grated chocolate to serve.
