Answer 1

How to make raspberry & mascarpone cheese dessert:
A rich, chilled dessert which is really a very up-market cheese cake.


Ingredients

2 cups Mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons icing/confectioner's sugar (or to taste)
2 tablespoons double cream
1 cup raspberries
brandy to taste
mint leaves


Method

- Whip the double cream until it just holds its shape.
- Fold the cream into the Mascarpone cheese and mix in the icing sugar.
- Stir in a little brandy (about 1 tablespoon) and check the taste.
- Add a little more brandy if desired!
- Put into two pretty serving dishes and chill for a couple of hours.
- Defrost raspberries if frozen and sweeten to taste.
- If raspberries are fresh, check for sweetness and sprinkle with a little icing sugar if desired.
- Just before serving divide raspberries between the two dishes and pile them on top of the Mascarpone mixture.
- Decorate with mint leaves dipped in a little egg white and then icing sugar.

Answer 2

I think a simple dish of ice cream with rasp puree (maybe cooked down with some sort of liquor...) sounds very good.

Keep it simple, whatever you do, don't defile perfectly good berries fussin with them too much.

Remember gourmet doesn't mean FANCY. It means the highest quality. If you have a fresh berry harvest, you have the best of the summer but summer foods are simple.

Serve in a pretty glass, like a parfait cup or even a margarita or martini glass...with a sprig of mint or a citrus slice twisted around the rim for garnish...and keep a couple fresh berries for each serving to topple over the ice cream. If you want a really pretty presentation, you can also put some of the raspberry puree in the bottom of an empty glass and swirling it around so it sticks to the side. Then add the ice cream.

Choose a very high quality vanilla ice cream, perhaps the kind with the little flecks of vanilla beans in it.

I dont know if you have ever heard of Tastefully Simple before or not, however they are coming out with a Raspberry Divine Dessert Sauce on 9/1 it would look good over cheese cake and is gourmet. Here is a friend of mine web site

Raspberry crumble or cobbler, topped with whipped cream...or I like Vanilla ice cream, topped with raspberries and a touch of Raspberry liquor and whipped cream, now that's special.
