Raspberry Dessert!

This is a light and approachable desert that is pretty easy to whip up and very summertime friendly! I don't have a very sweet tooth which is why I've designed this to be just slightly tart. If you like it sweeeeeeet(!) just add more sugar. Also, I did not have any chocolate when I made them but I strongly recommend (lots) of dark chocolate shavings on the top. Yeah!

I think these turned out so fine that I will experiment with other, more exciting flavours including rose & mint or lime & coconut... can't wait to have an excuse to invent them! Let me know if you make any awesome flavour varieties of these.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tbsp gelatin
  • 2 egg whites
  • 400g Greek yoghurt
  • 100g raspberries (plus extra to stack on top!
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • Dribble of vanilla essence
  • Dark chocolate shavings (Green and Black's Organic 70% highly recommended!)

  • METHOD:
    1. Blitz the yoghurt, raspberries and vanilla
    2. Wisk the egg white to stiff peaks
    3. Wisk the sugar into the egg whites until glossy
    4. Melt the gelatin into the lemon juice in a heat safe bowl over a pot of boiling water
    5. Mix the lemon juice into the yoghurt
    6. Fold the egg whites into the yoghurt
    7. Pour into 4 pretty dessert glasses (I used martini glasses)
    8. Refrigerate until set (mine were ready about 5 hours later)
    9. Stack extra raspberries in top of glass and cover with chocolate shavings. Divine!
