Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 400 ml soy milk (we recommend using JOYA Natur or Calcium soy milk for an authentic taste)
- 1 packet of lemon-flavored pudding
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 500 g frozen raspberries (or fresh, if available)

Instructions:
1. Start by heating the soy milk in a double boiler or a special milk pot. This type of pot helps distribute heat evenly and prevents the milk from burning.

2. In another bowl, mix 100 ml of the soy milk with the pudding packet, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. When the soy milk begins to boil, pour in the pudding mixture while stirring continuously. This technique will prevent lumps from forming and help achieve a smooth texture.

4. Allow the pudding to simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will notice the mixture gradually thickening. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the raspberries. You can use some of the raspberries to make a delicious puree. Use a blender or a fork to mash the raspberries, adding a bit of sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste. You can reserve a few whole berries for decoration.

6. Now it’s time to assemble the dessert. Use special ice cream cups or clear bowls to create a visually appealing effect. Start with a layer of pudding, followed by a layer of raspberry puree. Continue with another layer of pudding and finish with whole raspberries on top for an attractive look.

7. Place the desserts in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This step will allow the flavors to meld and make the dessert even more refreshing.

Serving suggestions:
This lemon and raspberry dessert pairs wonderfully with chocolate sauce or vanilla ice cream. You can also serve it alongside a cup of green tea or a fresh smoothie for a complete treat. If you want to add a touch of elegance, top the dessert with a few fresh mint leaves.

Nutritional benefits:
This dessert is not only tasty but also healthy! Soy milk is an excellent source of plant-based protein and calcium, while raspberries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. This dessert is an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy something sweet without compromising their health.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other fruits instead of raspberries?
Absolutely! This dessert is versatile, and other berries or even peaches and mangoes would work wonderfully.

Possible variations:
If you want to add a hint of flavor, you can incorporate a teaspoon of grated lemon zest into the pudding for a more intense taste. Also, instead of granulated sugar, you can experiment with natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup (the latter will not be vegan).
