Ingredients

  • 200 ml (7fl oz /¾ cup) Raspberry juice
  • 2 Gelatine leaves @ 2g each
  • 8 rose or raspberry macarons bought or homemade (see NOTES)
  • 240 ml (8.5fl oz / 1 cup) whipping cream (30% fat), chilled
  • 2 tablespoon rose syrup (I use Monin)* see NOTES
  • 24 raspberries (3 per shot glass)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a large glass bowl in the fridge for the Chantilly cream later.
  2. Make the jelly: Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Heat the raspberry juice in a saucepan (don't boil), squeeze out excess water from the gelatine and dissolve into the warm juice.  Add 1 tablespoon rose syrup.
  3. Drop in a couple of raspberries in each shot glass and top with the jelly, filling up to a third of the way up.
  4. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
  5. Using an electric whisk or stand mixer, whip up the cold cream in the chilled bowl and add 1 tablespoon rose syrup (or 2 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon rose water) until whipped firmly.
  6. Once the jellies are set 2 hours later, top with a macaron then the Chantilly cream and decorate with a lychee and raspberry.

Notes

  • Pressed for time? Make raspberry jelly using half a packet mix and follow instructions.Either buy rose macarons or make them yourself using the recipes in my books! Don't forget homemade macarons freeze well and are gluten free.
  • See raspberry macarons recipe made with fresh raspberries and a white chocolate ganache.
  • *If you don't have rose syrup, add 2 teaspoon sugar & 1 teaspoon rose water (concentration of 3% rose essence to water - otherwise if more powerful just a couple of drops!)
  • If serving with wine, serve with a late harvest Gewurtzraminer or pink Champagne.
