Sea buckthorn mousse is a delicate, airy dessert with a bright sweet-sour taste that combines the freshness of berries with a velvety texture. Sea buckthorn, known for its beneficial properties, has been used in Russian cuisine since ancient times to prepare drinks and sweet dishes. This mousse features a rich amber color and lightness achieved through careful whipping of the mixture. Served chilled, it refreshes and delights with its rich aroma. It is perfect as a standalone dessert or as an accompaniment to other sweets. It can be garnished with fresh berries or a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
