Pouring 15 g of gelatin into a bowl
Sort the raspberries, place them in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, and add a couple of tablespoons of water. Set aside a few berries for decorating the dessert.
Mash the berries with a spoon to release their juice.
Pour 15 g of gelatin – about a level tablespoon – into a bowl. Add 100 ml of cold water and let it sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature to bloom.
Heating to a boil, steaming the berries for 5 minutes
Cover the saucepan, bring to a boil, and let the berries steam for 5 minutes. During this time, the raspberries will break down and release a lot of juice.

After about half an hour, the gelatin will swell and can be mixed with the hot raspberry juice
Strain the raspberries through a sieve. The finer the mesh, the more likely you are to prevent the seeds from getting through. If a few seeds slip through, you can strain the juice again through cheesecloth, although in my opinion, it’s not critical.

After about half an hour, the gelatin will have swollen and can be mixed with the hot raspberry juice. If you’re using gelatin sheets, it’s even easier – just soak the sheets in water for a minute.
Pouring the jelly into dessert bowls, small bowls, or glasses and placing it in the refrigerator
Combine the sweetened raspberry juice with the bloomed gelatin, and heat to 80-85°C (175-185°F), but do not boil. At this point, the raspberry jelly is ready; now it just needs to set. Pour the jelly into dessert bowls, ramekins, or glasses and refrigerate until fully set.
Once the jelly has set, you can whip the cream

Decorating the dessert with fresh raspberries
Once the jelly is set, you can whip the cream. In a tall container, combine the powdered sugar and cream stabilizer, then pour in the cold cream. Whip on high speed for several minutes, until the whisk leaves trails that hold their shape. Be careful not to overwhip the cream. If you plan to serve the dessert immediately, you can skip the stabilizer, as high-fat cream whips well on its own. If you need it to hold its shape for an hour or two, it’s better to add the stabilizer.
Spoon the whipped cream on top of the raspberry jelly. You can also fill a piping bag with a decorative tip and pipe rosettes or a wavy mound of cream.
Decorate the dessert with fresh raspberries. Choose dry berries so they don’t release juice, which could spoil the appearance.
Sprinkling with shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts
Sprinkle with shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and dust with ground cinnamon through a small sieve.
