1lb raspberries
4 tablespoons water
1 sachet gelatine
4 oz light soft cream cheese
2 oz caster sugar
1/2 pint double cream
2 medium egg whites

Put raspberries through a sieve to make a puree and set on one side.

measure the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatine over. leave to sponge and then heat to dissolve in a microwave or over a pan of hot water.
Cream the cheese and sugar together until soft and light. Stir in the rasberry puree. add the gelatine, stirring all the time. Stir in the lightly whisked cream. leave until setting, then whisk the egg whites and fold evenly into the mixture. Pour into the ramekin dishes and then leave in the fridge until ready to serve.
Serve with raspberries and dust with a little icing sugar.

Hi Sheffy

have you ever tried just whipping up double cream and pureeing the raspberries only? I've been doing this concoction with a chocolate mousse and it works quite well but i have friends who wont use gelatin becuase they are veggies.

Would love to know if anyone else has other ideas for me to try!?

Thanks
