    Latvian Cranberry Mousse (Debesmanna)

    Latvian cranberry mousse called debesmanna is a simple to make, lovely dessert.  It is tart and light, thanks to whipping up farina or cream of wheat into a mousse.  It does take about 1o minutes to get it to the proper texture, but your stand mixer can do the work for you.  Berries are popular in Latvia as they love to forage for them in their forested land.  I used unsweetened cranberry juice for this recipe but really any flavor of berry juice could be used.  It is served with milk or cream poured over it.  Enjoy!
