Raspberry cloud
Raspberry cloud is an airy meringue-style dessert with whipped egg whites, icing sugar, gelatine and fresh raspberries. The Thermomix TM7 whisks the egg whites to firm peaks with the butterfly whisk, grinds the sugar finely and folds everything into a light, cloud-like summer dessert.
About this recipe
Raspberry cloud Thermomix TM7 recipes bring a classic pavlova-style dessert within everyone's reach. This airy sweet treat combines whisked egg whites with cream of tartar, finely ground icing sugar, cornflour and flaked almonds, then sets with gelatine and fresh raspberries into a cloud-soft dessert. Searching for a light summer dessert for your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 butterfly whisk beats the egg whites into stable, glossy peaks without you lifting a hand, while the integrated scale weighs every ingredient straight into the mixing bowl. The result is a marshmallow-tender interior with crisp edges and a bright raspberry tang, impressive enough for a festive dinner yet simple enough for a weekend bake. Serve it chilled with extra fresh raspberries and toasted almonds for an elegant finish that looks far harder than the Thermomix makes it.
Preparation tips
- Use room-temperature egg whites for the raspberry cloud, as they whip to a greater volume than cold ones. Add the cream of tartar early so it stabilises the whites while the Thermomix whisks them into glossy, firm peaks.
- Dissolve the gelatine leaves completely in a little warm raspberry purée before folding them in. Undissolved gelatine causes stringy lumps that ruin the cloud-soft texture of this meringue dessert.
- Toast the flaked almonds in a dry pan until golden before scattering them over the finished raspberry cloud. Their nutty crunch contrasts beautifully with the airy egg white and soft raspberries.
Recipe variations
- Make a lactose-free raspberry cloud by skipping any cream and relying solely on egg whites, gelatine and raspberry purée for structure. The dessert stays wonderfully airy and lets the fresh raspberry flavour shine even more clearly.
- For a festive winter variation, swap the raspberries for a purée of pressed pomegranate and clementine segments. The same whisked egg whites and icing sugar base turns into a jewel-toned Christmas dessert crowned with toasted flaked almonds.
