Ingredients

3 tbsp lemon juice
1 ⅛ tsp powdered unflavored gelatin
2 ½ cups raspberries, divided
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup cold heavy cream
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
6 prepared meringue cups

Directions

Place lemon juice in a small bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 3 minutes to soften gelatin.
In a blender, puree 2 cups raspberries until smooth; reserve remaining ½ cup raspberries for garnish. Pour puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing on solids; discard solids.
In a small saucepan, combine puree and ¼ cup sugar. Cook over medium heat until bubbles form at edge. Add gelatin mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, or just until gelatin dissolves. Transfer to a small bowl; cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat cream and 1 tablespoon sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in raspberry puree mixture until combined. Chill 30 minutes.
Spoon melted chocolate into meringue cups. Fill with berry mixture. Garnish with berries.
