• Whip the cream and egg white separately, then fold beaten egg white into whipped cream. Gently stir in the sugar and the Chambord.

• Immerse the dish in hot water for a moment to loosen the jello, place a plate over the dish and turn it over, giving the bottom a gentle bang to release the charlotte from the dish. Before serving, decorate top of charlotte with frozen raspberries.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
