Estonia Raspberry semolina mousse is a wonderful dessert treat usually served with milk or cream. It is also loved as a breakfast dish. The mousse can be made from all sorts of berry juice, just use what you have on hand or love. Berry picking is a national pass time in Estonia and they have some pretty interesting berries there. The more you whisk up this dessert, the lighter and fluffier it gets. Enjoy!
