Ingredients
- 2 plant-based gelatin Leafs
- 350g Raspberries
- 60g Caster Sugar
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 500ml Whipping Cream
Instructions
- 1Put the plant-based gelatin leaves in a bowl, cover with warm water and leave to soak for 5 mins. Drain and squeeze out any excess water.
- 2Tip the raspberries into a pan over a medium-low heat along with the sugar and lemon juice. Cook for 5-6 mins until the berries have completely broken down. Push the mixture through a sieve set over a bowl, discarding the seeds. Stir in the plant-based gelatin leaves until dissolved (if they don’t dissolve, pour the mixture into a clean saucepan and heat gently until dissolved). Set aside to cool for 15 mins.
- 3Whip the cream to soft peaks using an electric whisk, then gently fold this into the raspberry mixture. Spoon into the ramekins or moulds and chill overnight, or for at least 6 hrs. Serve with raspberries scattered over the top.

Chef tips
For a perfectly stable and airy mousse, fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream using slow, gentle motions. This keeps the cream light and fluffy for that ideal texture. Kids will love helping decorate with fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings! For a zesty twist, add some lemon zest to the puree to really make those fruity flavors pop.
