Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Blend Raspberries – In a blender or food processor, combine raspberries and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
  2. Strain – Pour the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, creating a smooth sauce. Set aside.

Stabilize the Whipped Cream:

  2. Dissolve Gelatin – Heat gently in the microwave (5-10 seconds) or over simmering water until fully dissolved. Let cool slightly.

Whip the Cream:

  1. Whip Cream – In a large mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  2. Incorporate Gelatin – Gradually add the dissolved gelatin while whipping, continuing until stiff peaks form.

Combine & Chill:

  1. Fold in Raspberry Puree – Gently fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  2. Portion & Chill – Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
