Cranberry Semolina Mousse

This mousse is for everyone — sweet tooths and serious dessert lovers alike. Not everyone is a fan of plain semolina porridge, but it's hard to walk past a cranberry semolina mousse, even though the ingredient list is essentially the same. Stirring freshly squeezed juice into the cooked semolina loads the mousse with vitamins and turns it a pretty pink, while vigorous whipping gives it a light, airy texture. Serve the cranberry mousse in dessert cups with milk or cream, and eat it with a spoon.
