Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups graham crackers
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup white chocolate, grated
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mash a few raspberries with a fork to release some juices. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to macerate while preparing the other components.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip. Set aside in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds its shape when pressed together.
To assemble, take 8 serving glasses or dessert cups. Start with a layer of the graham cracker mixture, gently pressing it down with a spoon to create a firm base.
Spoon a layer of the macerated raspberries on top of the graham cracker crust, ensuring some of the syrup is included.
Add a generous dollop of the whipped cream mixture on top of the raspberries to create the next layer.
Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled or you run out of ingredients, ensuring the whipped cream is the final layer.
Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of grated white chocolate and a fresh mint leaf, if desired.
Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
