Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh raspberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 sheet (or 1 tsp powder) gelatin sheet or powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, discarding the solids.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the raspberry puree. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin sheet or powder. If using a sheet, soak it in cold water for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water. If using powder, bloom it by sprinkling it over the cold water and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Heat gently in a microwave for a few seconds or in a saucepan until fully melted, then stir it into the raspberry mixture.
In a clean, grease-free bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful to preserve the airy texture.
Divide the raspberry foam evenly among serving glasses or bowls. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours to allow the foam to set.
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
