• Cook raspberries and sweeteners over medium heat until fruit is easily mashed and sweeteners are dissolved. Cool slightly.

• Remove the seeds by pressing through a fine mesh strainer to collect the fruit juice in a bowl.

• Mix in gelatin water into the fruit liquid.
• Whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
• Add sweetened raspberry liquid to cream mixture.

• Gently fold in the liquid into the whipped cream mixture to complete the mousse.

• Transfer to six small dessert cups for individual serving sizes.

It's best to allow the raspberry mousse to chill at least 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
