Ingredients
12 oz (340g) raspberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, full-fat or coconut cream as substitute
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder, or agar-agar/pectin for vegan option
4 tbsp cold water or juice (e.g., orange juice)
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for fresh batches)
Instructions
Mash all raspberries with granulated sugar in a large bowl
Blend on low speed until smooth, then press through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds
Chill the purée for 10 minutes to balance temperature
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water or juice in a small saucepan
Let sit undisturbed for 1 minute
Warm the saucepan gently over low heat for 2 minutes (do not boil)
Whisk dissolved gelatin into the chilled raspberry purée
Whisk heavy cream until stiff peaks form
Carefully fold whipped cream into the purée until fully combined
Chill at least 1 hour to set before serving
Notes
For vegan version: use agar-agar or pectin instead of gelatin and substitute coconut cream for heavy cream
Adjust sugar to taste based on raspberry sweetness
Optional orange juice in gelatin watering adds citrus undertones
Storage: keep in refrigerator for up to 24 hours for best texture
