Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh raspberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 10 grams Unflavored gelatin powder
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Reserve a handful of fresh raspberries for later garnish and set them aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the remaining raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves completely (about 4-5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, pressing gently with a spoon. Let the raspberry syrup cool slightly.
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 3-5 minutes. Then, heat the gelatin mixture gently in the microwave or over a water bath until fully dissolved.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the raspberry syrup and mix thoroughly. Divide the raspberry mixture evenly among four serving glasses or dessert bowls. Place them in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Once the gelatin has set, spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the raspberry layer in each glass. Be generous for a beautiful, fluffy topping.
Top each dessert with the reserved fresh raspberries and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy this delicate Blushing Maid German Raspberry Dessert!
