I like using Nestle European Style Mousse Mix - Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. I find it at the grocery store near the jello and pudding mixes.

Wow...nothing like short notice! I use the raspberry filling that comes in the 2# sleeves, put out by CK Products. They should be available in your local cake decorating supply store (not Micheals or stores like that though)

I have also used the filling in the sleeves but when I have been in a pinch, I have purchases seedless raspberry preserves at the grocery store and it went over well.

I have used seedless raspberry preserves by itself or I have also used the preserves mixed in with some buttercream, yummy!

I've used seedless raspberry preserves alone and also folded into Bettercreme--this makes a light, mousse-like filling that has a good shelf life at room temp. I whip the Bettercreme as directed and then fold in the raspberry preserves to taste. It gets rave reviews when combined with any type of cake.

I've forgotten what Bettercreme is. I'm not sure I can get it here (Wichita). Is it a grocery item, or cake supply?

Bettercreme is a non-dairy icing product made by Rich's. I can get it at GFS stores, but it looks like they don't operate in KS. A cake decorating supply store near me carries it and a similar brand (I forget the name of it), so you might want to call around if it interests you. I've also seen posts stating that Sam's Clubs with bakeries carry it and will sell it to you.
Hope this is helpful.

I use the low sugar smuckers raspberry preserves and pair it with white chocolate ganache. It is not too sweet or syrupy, and people appreciate it. It's good quality.
