Ingredients
300 g 10 oz Raspberries, fresh or frozen
130 g 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
500 ml 2 cup Heavy Cream
Equipment
Mixing Bowls- Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
- Spatula
- Sieve
Directions
- If using fresh raspberries, rinse them gently under cold water. If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw before using.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the raspberries with ⅓ cup (66 grams) of granulated sugar. Mash the raspberries slightly with a fork or spoon to release their juices. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
- In a separate mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and add the remaining ⅓ cup (66 grams) of granulated sugar. Whip the cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, press the macerated raspberries through a sieve to remove the seeds. Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula until well combined.
- Spoon the raspberry cream into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to firm up slightly.

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, frozen raspberries can be used in this recipe. Just thaw them completely before mashing or mixing with the cream. They may release more juice than fresh raspberries, which can add extra flavor to the cream.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the raspberry cream?
You can easily adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of granulated sugar. Taste the raspberry mixture before adding it to the cream, and add more sugar if needed to suit your preference.
Can I prepare raspberry cream in advance?
Absolutely! Raspberry cream can be made up to a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator, covered, and give it a gentle stir before serving.
What if I don’t have a sieve to remove the raspberry seeds?
If you don’t have a sieve, you can leave the seeds in the raspberry mixture for a more textured dessert. The seeds add a bit of crunch, which some people enjoy.
Can I use other berries in this recipe?
Yes, this recipe is versatile and works well with other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries. Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the berries you choose.
How should I serve raspberry cream?
Raspberry cream can be served in individual glasses or bowls. It’s delicious on its own or as a topping for cakes, pancakes, waffles, or even meringues.
What can I use to garnish raspberry cream?
For an elegant presentation, garnish with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, or a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also add a small piece of lemon zest for a pop of color and flavor.
