Comparison of raspberry spuma, mousse, and espuma textures.

Raspberry Spuma vs Mousse vs Espuma

Explore the key differences between raspberry spuma, mousse, and espuma—from classic French techniques to viral 3-ingredient trends and modern culinary foams using siphons.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes (plus chilling for mousse)
  • Yield: Varies by method

Ingredients

  • Fresh raspberries or raspberry puree
  • Egg whites
  • Granulated sugar
  • Heavy cream or whipped cream (for mousse)
  • Gelatin or agar-agar (for mousse or espuma)
  • Optional: mascarpone, milk, or flavor infusions
  • Tools: food processor, mixer, or iSi siphon with N2O cartridges (for espuma)

Instructions

  1. For Raspberry Mousse: Create a raspberry puree and sweeten it. Whip cream or egg whites separately. Dissolve gelatin if used. Gently fold everything together and chill until set.
  2. For Raspberry Spuma: Blend fresh raspberries, egg whites, and sugar in a food processor for 3–4 minutes until pale and foamy. Serve immediately.
  3. For Raspberry Espuma: Mix raspberry puree with cream and a stabilizer like gelatin. Strain, pour into an iSi siphon, charge with N2O, and dispense as needed for a stable foam.

Notes

Mousse is richer and more stable due to cream and gelatin. Spuma is ultra-light, best served fresh, and uses no stabilizers. Espuma requires a siphon but offers versatility in texture and flavor. Choose based on desired equipment, texture, and prep time.
