How to Make Berry Topped Cheesecake Mousse

5. Top each cup with a layer of fresh raspberries and blueberries.

7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
8. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the berries for your favorite fruits, like sliced strawberries or peaches.
• Add a swirl of chocolate or caramel sauce for an indulgent twist.
