Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place almonds in an ovenproof dish and toast for 7–10 minutes.
Using 2 bowls, pour 1 package of gelatin and ¼ cup (60 mL) cold water into each bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
In a saucepan, heat orange juice until steaming, about 3–5 minutes. Pour one of the bowls of gelatin into the saucepan and stir until dissolved; stir in 2 tbsp (30 mL) of honey.
Divide raspberries into six glasses and add orange preparation to each. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat milk until steaming, about 3–5 minutes, and pour the second bowl of gelatin into the saucepan. Add the remaining honey, Mascarpone and vanilla. Stir well until smooth. Let cool at room temperature.
When the raspberry-orange preparation is set, pour the Mascarpone preparation on top to create a second layer. Put the glasses back in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Serve the dessert garnished with toasted almonds and lime zest.
