The internet is obsessed with these glossy red Berry Cube Desserts, and for good reason. They look elegant, taste incredible, and have that perfect mix of creamy, fruity, and crunchy in every bite. I decided to try making them at home to see if they really live up to the hype.
Ingredients
Raspberry Sauce
- 4 oz each strawberries and raspberries, blended and strained
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Raspberry Mousse
- 4 oz each strawberries and raspberries, blended and strained
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin (bloomed in ¼ cup cold water)
Additional
- Pistachio cream
- White chocolate (dyed red) or ruby chocolate, melted
- Half strawberries, for garnish
How to Make It
- Coat silicone cube molds with melted ruby chocolate or red-tinted white chocolate. Make sure the sides are fully covered, then freeze until firm.
- In a small saucepan, cook the strained berry puree with sugar and lemon juice until it thickens slightly. Let it cool.
- For the mousse, heat the second batch of berry puree with sugar until dissolved. Stir in the bloomed gelatin and mix well. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Remove the chocolate-coated molds from the freezer. Pipe mousse halfway, add a small spoon of pistachio cream and a bit of raspberry sauce in the center, then fill the rest with mousse.
- Freeze for a few hours until completely set.
- Carefully remove the cubes and top each with half a strawberry.
The Result
Once set, these cubes look like tiny pieces of edible art. The soft mousse inside pairs beautifully with the rich chocolate shell, and the tangy raspberry flavor balances the sweetness perfectly. The pistachio cream adds a nutty surprise that makes each bite feel luxurious.
If you’ve been seeing this dessert all over social media, it’s worth the effort. The viral berry cube dessert doesn’t just look good — it tastes just as amazing as it appears.
