Cranberry mousse with semolina

Treat yourself and your friends with this healthy sweet and sour dessert! The availability of products is captivating, they are inexpensive, and cooking does not take much time. This is a simple delicious dessert. In addition, it is useful for children, because berry juice is not brewed, which means that all vitamins are preserved in it. This recipe is passed down from generation to generation in our family. As a child, my mother cooked such a dessert for my brother and me. And when I made mousse recently and told her about it, she laughed and said that she had been cooked this way as a child. Dessert is simple, without frills, but if you serve it beautifully, a good mood is guaranteed.
