Cranberry Semolina Mousse (Debesmanna)
Also known as: Debesmanna
Whipped Latvian cranberry-and-semolina dessert served as soft mounds in cold milk.

About Cranberry Semolina Mousse (Debesmanna)
Liene Vilnīte's cranberry debesmanna is a traditional Latvian sweet with a light, airy character. Cranberries, sugar and semolina form the mousse, whose pale appearance accompanies its soft texture.
The cranberry flavour contrasts with cold milk, which is served separately around the mousse. Milk belongs to the final bowl rather than the fruit-and-semolina mixture itself.
Soft spoonfuls of debesmanna sit in individual bowls of milk like small islands. This presentation highlights the contrast between the airy cranberry portion and the surrounding cool dairy.
