Recipe
Bring to a boil, separately, the milk and the almond milk. Put the gelatine in the almond milk and then incorporate the boiled milk. Strain in a conical strainer [chinois] and let cool on ice, stirring from time to time with a whisk.
Whip the cream until stiff. When the milk starts to thicken and take an oily consistency, delicately incorporate the whipped cream. Pour this mixture into a big ring-shaped mould or into small individual moulds. Let cool for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
For the raspberry sauce, mix all ingredients in a blender then strain in a conical strainer to eliminate the seeds. Adjust seasoning and keep in the refrigerator.
TO SERVE: Quickly put the mould(s) in hot water, then turn out. Garnish with red fruits, almonds and mint leaves. Serve the sauce seperately in a sauceboat.
