Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:
- 250 g yogurt (ideally a creamier goat or sheep yogurt)
- 125 g sweet cream for whipping (30% fat)
- 125 g sweet cream for cooking (12% fat, can be substituted with 30% cream)
- 7 tablespoons fructose (you can adjust the amount to taste; sugar can also be used)
- 150-200 g fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 packet of cooking gelatin
- Half a packet of gelatin for decoration
- Zest of one lemon and one lime
- Half a vial of vanilla
- 1 packet of berry or strawberry tea (optional)

Step by Step:

Step 1: Prepare the tea
Start by making a flavored tea. Boil 100 ml of water and add the tea bag. Let it steep for a few minutes, then let it cool completely. Using tea adds an extra note of flavor to the dessert, but if you prefer, you can use plain water. Once the tea is cooled, add the gelatin to swell according to the instructions on the package.

Step 2: Whip the cream
In a large bowl, add the sweet cream for whipping (30% fat) and whip it with a mixer until it becomes firm. Add a tablespoon of powdered fructose to sweeten the cream. A useful tip: if you want the sugar or fructose to dissolve better, you can grind it in a food processor before use.

Step 3: Prepare the yogurt mixture
In another bowl, combine the drained yogurt, sweet cream (12%), and another 3 tablespoons of fructose. Add the grated lemon zest and vanilla, then mix everything well with the mixer to obtain a homogeneous composition.

Step 4: Prepare the raspberries
In a small saucepan, add the raspberries (either fresh or frozen) along with 2-3 tablespoons of fructose. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries release their juice and become soft. Once cooked, add 125 ml of water and half of the packet of gelatin. Let the mixture boil for one minute, then remove from heat.

Step 5: Incorporate the gelatin
Melt the gelatin in a double boiler, following the instructions on the packet. Let it cool slightly, but ensure it doesn't set. While continuously mixing the yogurt mixture, pour the gelatin in a thin stream, making sure it integrates evenly.

Step 6: Assemble and chill
Divide the yogurt mixture into 6 bowls or a larger mold. Smooth the surface well and refrigerate for at least one hour until set.

Serving
To serve, invert the yogurt and raspberry diplomat onto a platter. You can garnish with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or grated chocolate, depending on your preferences. Another idea is to add a raspberry sauce made from leftover raspberries, strained through a sieve.

Practical tips and variations
- Fruit variations: Depending on the season, you can replace raspberries with other berries, such as blackberries or blueberries. Each variation will bring a different note to the dessert.
- Alternative sweeteners: If you want to reduce calories even further, you can use natural sweeteners like stevia or erythritol.
- Textures: If you love a crunchy texture, you can add ground nuts or crushed cookies at the base before pouring the yogurt mixture.
