Begin by placing the raspberries in a blender and blending until they form a puree, mix in a little icing sugar to sweeten then keep to one side.
In a bowl mix the mascapone, fromage frais, caster sugar and vanilla extract together until combined.
Lay out 8 plates and spoon the raspberry coulis evenly on to the centre of each plate. Place a meringue nest on top of the coulis, spoon mascapone mixture into the nests then top with mixed fruits. Garnish with mint sprigs and finally dust with icing sugar then serve.
