- 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Sugar substitute (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and 1.5 cups of cold water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the raspberries are broken down.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract the juice. Discard the seeds and pulp.
In a large bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 1 cup of boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
Add the raspberry juice and lemon juice to the gelatin mixture, stirring well to combine.
Taste the mixture, and if desired, add the sugar substitute for additional sweetness, stirring until dissolved.
Pour the raspberry gelatin mixture into a mold or individual serving cups.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Once set, serve directly from the mold or cups, and top with a few fresh raspberries for garnish if desired.
