Light, delicate, and bursting with ebulliently bright berry flavor, biting into a Trader Joe’s Raspberry Mousse Cake is like taking yourself on a sweet, tart, texturally sublime adventure. They’re made for us by a trained pastry chef, who just so happens to excel at refined treats like these. Each one starts with a thick layer of moist, delicious vanilla cake, which is topped with an even thicker layer of silky, raspberry-flavored mousse. Then it’s all enrobed in a sweet, confectionary coating, and shaped just like a raspberry—complete with a green, edible, decorative leaf.

While our Raspberry Mousse Cakes make especially delicious after-dinner treats, adorned with fresh raspberries or topped with a bit of whipped cream, the truth is, they’re just as excellent when enjoyed as an anytime indulgence. That said, if you do have a more formal dessert situation in mind, we find they pair impeccably with a hot cup of coffee or a chilled glass of sparkling wine.
