Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
To make the crust, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut oil, and sweetener in a mixing bowl until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
For the raspberry mousse, start by blending the fresh raspberries in a food processor until smooth.
In a small saucepan, add the water and sprinkle the gelatin powder over it. Let it stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat the gelatin mixture over low heat until it dissolves fully, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the raspberry puree, dissolved gelatin, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the whipping cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the raspberry mixture.
Pour the raspberry mousse over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is fully set.
Once set, carefully remove the springform pan's sides and serve the cake chilled.
