Instructions
- Combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter in a bowl until fully mixed.

- Freeze for 15 minutes to allow the crust to firm up.
- Cook the blackberries, sugar, and water over medium heat until the blackberries break down, approximately 5-7 minutes.

- Bloom the gelatin in the lemon juice for 5 minutes, then warm it slightly and mix it into the cooled blackberry purée.
- Allow the purée to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
- Fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the mousse into the chilled crusts and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or until set.

- Stir until smooth and cooled slightly, then pour the glaze over the set mousse cakes.
- Garnish each with a fresh blackberry and an edible violet.
