Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Bloom Gelatin: In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp of gelatin with 2 tbsp of cold water and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Cook Raspberry Purée: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Heat over medium until the mixture breaks down and the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin.
  3. Strain & Cool: Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Allow it to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tbsp of powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  5. Fold & Fill: Gently fold one third of the cooled raspberry purée into the whipped cream, then fold in remaining purée in two additions.
  6. Chill to Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are chilled for whipping the cream to maximize volume. Taste the purée before adding sugar and adjust accordingly. Allow cooling completely before mixing in gelatin for best results.
