Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups graham crackers
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup white chocolate, grated
• 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mash a few raspberries with a fork to release some juices. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to macerate while preparing the other components.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds its shape when pressed together.

Step 4

To assemble, take 8 serving glasses or dessert cups. Start with a layer of the graham cracker mixture, gently pressing it down with a spoon to create a firm base.

Step 5

Spoon a layer of the macerated raspberries on top of the graham cracker crust, ensuring some of the syrup is included.

Step 6

Add a generous dollop of the whipped cream mixture on top of the raspberries to create the next layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled or you run out of ingredients, ensuring the whipped cream is the final layer.

Step 8

Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of grated white chocolate and a fresh mint leaf, if desired.

Step 9

Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
