Put 6 circles on a tray (covered with baking paper) and line them with 8 ladyfingers (cut in 2 lengthwise), the sugar coated side towards the circle
Raspberry Jelly
-
Heat the raspberry puree with sugar and agar-agar in a small pan and let cook for 1 minute.
-
Let cool out until room temperature (25 – 30°C)
Yogurt Cream
-
Whip the very cold whipping cream in a chilled bowl until stiff and refrigerate.
-
Soak gelatine sheets in cold water for 10 minutes. Heat up raspberry puree and lemon juice in a small pan or in microwave (40°C), then dissolve soaked gelatine in the warm puree, stirring gently with a spoon.

In a bowl, mix soft mascarpone with yogurt and icing sugar. Add raspberry puree and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate.

When raspberry cream starts to gelify on the border, fold in carefully whipped cream with a rubber spatula.

Fill raspberry cream in circles, almost to the top – let some space for raspberry jelly. Refrigerate the Charlottes for 1-2 hours, then pour gently raspberry jelly on top.

Garnish with berries and mint leaves and refrigerate.
