Raspberry Mousse

Raspberry liqueur turns a creamy, classic mousse into something decidedly romantic.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Chill Time: 2 hours

Servings: 6

6 egg yolks

½ cup sugar

¼ cup water

1 tablespoon Framboise liqueur

8 ounces crème fraîche or sour cream

1½ pints fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

mint sprigs for garnish

Whisk yolks, sugar, and water in a medium-size metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Whisk for about 4 minutes and remove from water. Beat mixture until cool and thick, about 5 minutes. Beat in Framboise. Add crème fraîche and beat just until blended. Divide mixture among six ¾-cup soufflé dishes. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.

Prior to serving, dip soufflé dishes briefly into hot water. Run a small knife around sides of each mousse. Wipe dishes dry. Turn out each mousse onto a chilled plate. Garnish with
raspberries and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

Wine Pairing: Go back to where you began with a chilled glass of Champagne, but this time you absolutely must toss a raspberry into the glass.
