What you will like with this raspberry charlotte

flavors : a nice raspberry flavor in the mousse and in the whole fruits above. We also find the flavor of spoon cookies with a slight touch of vanilla.

Texture : creamy and melt-in-the-mouth thanks to the combination of mousse and biscuits. The raspberry charlotte is a very light dessert, perfect for the end of a meal.

Difficulty level : it is a simple recipe to prepare. If you have an adjustable pastry ring that's fine, if not a springform pan works too.

Ingredient details

  • spoon cookies : for the charlottes, I strongly recommend the spoon biscuits (and not the ladyfingers which are drier). You can of course make them homemade, but to make this recipe even faster, they are store-bought cookies.
  • raspberries : to create the mousse I use thawed raspberries (but you can take fresh raspberries). On the other hand for the decoration (and the fruits that I added in the mousse) they are fresh raspberries. It is imperative to have a nice rendering at the level of the fruits.

How to make a raspberry charlotte?

  1. We prepare the soaking syrup for the spoon biscuits: heat the water and the sugar then add the vanilla. Then we soak one side of the cookies and then place them in the pastry circle to line it.
  2. We realize the raspberry sauce then add the gelatin.
  3. On whip cream and sugar into whipped cream then we incorporate the raspberry coulis.
  4. For assembly of the charlotte with raspberries : pour half of the mousse into the circle, add a few raspberries then cover with the rest of the mousse.
  5. After several hours in the refrigerator, the raspberry charlotte is ready! All that remains is to decorate with fresh raspberries and a little icing sugar.

Tips for a perfect success with your raspberry charlotte

  • to avoid soaking the biscuits with the syrup, soak only the flat part of the biscuit, the one that will be against the raspberry mousse.
  • for a raspberry mousse that does not run between the spoon biscuits (it's less pretty) you have to make sure that thewhipped cream is stiff and the raspberry coulis has come back at room temperature before putting the two together.
  • respect the cold setting time (5 hours minimum in the fridge) before unmolding the raspberry charlotte. This allows you to cut very neat parts.

How to properly store your charlotte?

Once made, this raspberry charlotte will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, ideally in a bell jar, to prevent it from picking up odors from other foods.

Easy Raspberry Charlotte

A fresh and light dessert to highlight the raspberries: the charlotte! Simple to prepare, it will be ready to taste after a passage in the refrigerator.
Prep time30 minutes
Total30 minutes
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: French
Keyword: Bavarian, Charlotte, Desserts
Yield: 6 people

Ingredients:

Soaking syrup

  • 100 g water
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract

Charlotte

  • 20 spoon cookies
  • 360 g thawed or fresh raspberries
  • 4 gelatin sheets Vahine (1,90 grams per leaf, 200 blooms)
  • 400 g heavy whipping cream 30%
  • 70 g granulated sugar
  • 300 g fresh raspberries for interior + decor
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar

Instructions:

  • In a saucepan, heat the water and powdered sugar until simmering. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla and allow the resulting syrup to cool.
  • Adjust the pastry ring to 18cm, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or directly on the serving dish).
  • Take a biscuit spoon, then dip its flat side in the syrup then place it against the edge of the circle (curved side outwards). Continue with the other cookies to go around. Also line the bottom of the circle. Do not hesitate to cut the biscuits to stick them as much as possible.
  • Soften the gelatin in cold water.
  • In a saucepan, pour the thawed (or fresh) raspberries then blend them with an immersion blender. Strain the resulting coulis through a sieve to remove the seeds, then return to the saucepan to heat.
  • Off the heat, add the drained gelatin to the coulis and mix well. Let cool for later.
  • Whip the cream and powdered sugar until stiff. Add the coulis little by little with a spatula so as not to break the whipped cream. The mixture must be homogeneous.
  • Spoon half of the mixture into the circle on the spoon cookies. Add about fifteen fresh raspberries then cover with the rest of the mixture. Smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
  • Remove the circle. Add the fresh raspberries as a decoration on top then sprinkle with a veil of icing sugar.

Notes:

This raspberry charlotte will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

      Hello Jonathane, no, once thawed they have spilled their water, so you only get the raspberries (not the juice). I put them in the fridge for a few hours (or you can even put them on your work surface at room temperature to go faster).
      These are large surface Vahine gelatin sheets as specified in my recipe. Goodbye :)

      Hello Léa, it is possible but you will not have the same aesthetic result. It will be flat and you will have to cut the cookies on the sides, which will be too high. Goodbye :)

    Excellent charlotte recipe that is both generous and subtle!

    I used frozen raspberries by default, it goes super well. For a perfect decoration, fresh raspberries would obviously keep a better hold!
    Big bonus on my side, 2 verrines full of raspberry mousse because the charlotte was already full of it, an additional delicious dessert even without the cookies.

    Thank you for this beautiful recipe Aurélie!

      Hello Tiffanie, you can freeze it for a few days, but you have to protect it from the humidity of the freezer (otherwise the biscuits will soak up water), in a well sealed container. See you soon :)

    This raspberry charlotte is delicious! I've made it twice and it's always been a hit!

    I use ready-made raspberry coulis because I can't filter mine through my strainer... Maybe I didn't mix it enough before?

    In any case, the taste is excellent, the mousse holds together well and the fresh fruit decoration looks really good (I made a mixture of fresh raspberries and blueberries for the alternation of colors and because my children love them) . I would do it again without hesitation!

      Hello Alexandra, you need to do a volume calculation: you first calculate the volume of my mold (radiusxradiusx3,14) then you do the same with yours. Then you divide your volume by my volume and you get the number by which to multiply your ingredients. See you soon :)

    In addition to being very simple to make, it is really a very beautiful cake.
    I made it for a birthday with an assortment of red fruits to accompany it.
    Perfect for 6 people (including a gourmet who has reserved himself).
    The invisible apple recipe is great too :)
