** Raw egg whites are risky for pregnant women, young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems due to potential Salmonella infection.

Equipment

For this simple recipe, you’ll only need:

Food processor with S-blade attachment
Rubber spatula
Electric mixer (stand/ hand mixer) (optional): If your food processor blade struggles to reach the sides of the bowl, you can use an electric mixer to finish whipping the mixture after it’s pureed.

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the raspberries

Grab those frozen raspberries straight from the freezer and toss them into your food processor with the S-blade attachment. Pulse them until they’re completely crushed.

Step 2: Add egg whites and sweetener

Next, carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the separated whites and sweetener of your choice to the crushed raspberry mixture.

Step 3: Blend together

Blend everything together for 3-4 minutes, or until the raspberry mixture becomes light, fluffy, and significantly increases in volume. This creates the delightful airy texture of the dessert.

That’s it, immediately scoop it into bowls and enjoy your delicious low carb dessert!

TIP: if you can’t serve it immediately, place the bowl in a freezer for up to 30-40 minutes. Don’t leave it there for too long or it will solidify completely.

Raspberries: health benefits

Raspberries are packed with nutrients that can offer a variety of health benefits:

Fiber for Weight Management and Digestion: Raspberries are a good source of fiber, which helps you feel full for longer. This can be helpful for weight management and promotes healthy digestion.
Low Sugar Option: With a naturally sweet taste, raspberries are a good choice for people watching their sugar intake or following a ketogenic diet. You can enjoy the sweetness without worrying about a blood sugar spike.
Vitamin C for Immunity and Collagen: Raspberries are rich in Vitamin C, which plays a vital role in immune system function and collagen production. Collagen keeps your skin looking healthy and your joints functioning properly.
Antioxidants for Cell Protection: These vibrant berries are loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight free radicals in the body, which can protect your cells from damage and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

So next time you’re looking for a healthy snack, consider including raspberries in your diet. They’re a simple and delicious way to add important nutrients to your daily routine.
