Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh raspberries
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 8 grams Gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 50 grams Extra raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down into a thick purée.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the raspberry purée through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Discard seeds and set the strained purée aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Once the raspberry purée is slightly cooled but still warm, stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing well. Set the mixture aside to cool to room temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand or stand mixer. Do not overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled raspberry mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream. Ensure the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses or dessert molds. Smooth the tops with a spatula if needed.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until the Bavarian is fully set and firm to the touch.
Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves and extra raspberries for a delightful presentation.
Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy raspberry delight!
