Method

  1. Place the fruit in the bowl of a food processor.

  2. Process the fruit until it becomes a rough puree, which should take about 1 minute.

  3. Add the sugar or another sweetener to the food processor and pulse briefly to mix it in. If using a different sweetener, add it gradually and taste as you go.

  4. Add the egg white to the food processor and process until the mixture becomes smooth, fluffy, and lighter in color. This should take around 2 to 3 minutes, and the volume of the mixture may double or triple.

  5. If the mixture sticks to the sides of the food processor bowl, transfer it to a medium-sized bowl and use a mixer with a whisk attachment to beat it until fluffy.

  6. Spoon the mousse into glasses and optionally layer or top it with fresh berries and/or whipped cream.

  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate the mousse for up to 2 hours. Note that this mousse is not very stable due to its low sugar content, so it may not hold up for longer than 2 hours.
