Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh raspberries

Method

  1. 01

    Wash raspberries gently under cool running water.

  2. 02

    Raspberries naturally break apart easily — gently squish each one flat with your finger or a fork.

  3. 03

    The soft texture of raspberries makes them very safe once squished.

  4. 04

    Check there are no hard bits or unripe sections.

  5. 05

    Serve immediately at room temperature.
