Raspberry delice

An easy and light dessert!


Here is what you need:

125 gr of raspberries
45 gr of sugar
3 x sheets of gelatin (to be softened in cold water in advance)
1 glass of water 


  1. Wash the raspberries and then dry them with a piece of kitchen paper,
  2. Blend the raspberries with a kitchen blender,
  3. Add the water to dilute the puree and then transfer it in a small casserole,
  4. Add the sugar and the gelatin and gently warm the liquid up to allow sugar and gelatin to melt,
  5. Remove the casserole from the stove and let it cool down a bit before pouring in small glass containers
  6. Leave the glasses in the fridge for at least 3 hours 


Tips:

  • You can filter the raspberry puree (before adding sugar and gelatin) if you want to get rid of the seeds
  • Remove the dessert from the fridge 15 minutes before eating it 
  • Add a couple of drops of a great balsamic vinegar

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
