Instructions

- In a small bowl, dissolve vegan gelatin in warm water according to package instructions.
- Blend fresh raspberries with lemon juice and granulated sugar until smooth. Strain the raspberry puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
- In another bowl, whip cold plant-based cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the raspberry puree followed by the dissolved vegan gelatin gently to combine.
