method
1. Pick over the raspberries, reserving six berries for decoration. Place the remainder in a flat dish. Sprinkle with the icing sugar and spoon over the liqueur. Leave to stand for 1 hour. Puree in a blender then push through a sieve to remove the pips.
2. Whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until really thick; gradually whisk in the raspberry puree.
3. Whip the fresh cream until softly stiff and fold a quarter into the raspberry mixture. Spoon the remainder into a piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle and refrigerate.
4. Soak the gelatine in 30 ml (2 tbsp) of water in a small bowl. Dissolve by standing the bowl in a pan of gently simmering water. Stir quickly into the raspberry mixture.
5. When the raspberry mixture begins to set whisk the egg whites until stiff then fold into the mixture. Pour into stemmed glasses and refrigerate to set.
6. Decorate with the remaining fresh whipped cream and whole raspberries.
