Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   For this recipe, where I'll show you how to make berry mousse, you can use either fresh or frozen berries. To start, gather everything listed in the ingredients: berries, sugar, and semolina. Use any berries you like — you can even mix several kinds.

   Before you start cooking, squeeze the juice from fresh berries or drain the liquid from frozen ones.
