Bell Pepper Mousse - won't charge or discharge
You would not have been able to open a fully charged ISI without some effort and a big mess, so I am going to assume that the gas never entered...or entered and released as you were shaking.  Disassemble and fully clean your ISI...use the small brush that came with it to clean the nozzle. Check to see that all gaskets are present, particularly the large one that sits inside the top.  Reassemble.  Fill 3/4 with water (so as not to waste any useful ingredients), charge with one canister.  Hold an cup over the nozzle (so you don't spay water everywhere) and pull the release handle to see if gas/liquid is discharged.

My hunch is that you are either missing gasket...or something is caught in the mechanism that didn't allow the valve to seal properly.  You don't need much for the latter...black pepper or even raspberry "seeds" will hold the mechanism open enough for gas to escape.  Since you say it was your first use, I would guess the former.
