Ingredients
Scale
For the Raspberry Puree:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Raspberry Mousse:
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup raspberry puree (from above)

For the Whipped Cream Layer:
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

For Garnish:
- Fresh raspberries
- Crumbled graham crackers or cookies
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Puree:
- In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Let the puree cool completely before using.
- Make the Raspberry Mousse:
- In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in ½ cup of the prepared raspberry puree to create a light and fluffy raspberry mousse.
- Refrigerate the mousse while preparing the other layers.
- Make the Whipped Cream:
- In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Set aside for layering in the parfaits.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled for the best results when whipping.
- You can substitute graham crackers with any cookies of your choice for the garnish.
