Ingredients
2 cups fresh raspberries

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Purée the raspberries in a blender or food processor, then stir in sugar and lemon juice.

- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract to soft peaks.
- Gently fold the raspberry-gelatin mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined.
