Taste of the County: Cupid’s Cloud Creamy Raspberry Dessert

Cupid’s Cloud

Creamy Raspberry Dessert

This Cupid’s Cloud dessert is sweet, creamy, fluffy and bursting with raspberry freshness!  You are only 4 ingredients and 15 minutes away from this easy Valentine’s Day treat.

Will you be my Valentine?

Ingredients I used:

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Preparation:

    1. Using a mixer, whip together the whipping cream, 1 tbsp sugar and the vanilla. Set aside.
    2. In a food processor blend together the frozen raspberries and 1/2 cup sugar.
    3. Once the raspberries have been blended, fold them in to the whipping cream. I do this by using a spatula.
    4. Evenly distribute the dessert between dessert cups or fancy glasses.
    5. Refrigerate until you are ready to eat.

Recipe Tips:

Raspberries: Use frozen raspberries only. If you use fresh raspberries they will just turn into mush and make this dessert too wet.

Use a food processor, or even the blender, to mix the frozen raspberries and sugar.

Whipping Cream: Use 35% whipping cream.

Make Ahead: You can make this dessert ahead of time, but there are a couple of things to consider. If you make it and serve it right away, it is more fluffy. If you make it a few hours ahead, the dessert can get a bit soupy … it’s delicious but not fluffy. Just make sure to keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it.

Option: If you don’t want to use raspberries, you can substitute with strawberries or blackberries, or even a mix of berries.

More ways to enjoy Cupid’s Cloud: This raspberry and cream dessert is delicious as a stand-alone dessert, but it can also be used for other things. Use it to top pancakes, put it inside crepes, or serve it with chocolate cake!
