Instructions

Prepare the raspberries

Rinse the raspberries under cold water and pat dry gently with a paper towel.

Pro tip: Ensure raspberries are completely dry to prevent excess moisture in the dessert.

Mash the raspberries

In a bowl, lightly mash half of the raspberries with a fork. Set aside.

Pro tip: Leave some raspberries whole for texture.

Whip the cream

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form.

Pro tip: For best results, use a hand mixer on medium speed.

Combine ingredients

Gently fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream until just combined.

Pro tip: Be careful not to overmix to maintain the cream's fluffiness.

Assemble the dessert

Divide the raspberry cream mixture into serving glasses, layering with the remaining whole raspberries.

Pro tip: For a fancier look, use clear glasses to showcase the layers.

Chill before serving

Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least 1 hour before serving.

Pro tip: Chilling allows the flavours to meld and enhances the texture.
