Warm raspberry sauce
The warm raspberry sauce can help make a spectacular looking dessert or snack.
That is very easy to make.
3 items will make all the difference : The raspberries, Alcohol or not?, and the icecream.
Full recipe and more details below
3 key items when making warm raspberry sauce:
Item 1 – The Raspberries
When not in season frozen raspberries are the easy option. Simply remove what you need from the freezer beforehand and let them thaw to room temperature.
Or some fresh summer raspberries are available from June onwards, or alternatively it’s a lot of fun to harvest wild raspberries in the autumn.
Either option will work in this recipe.
Item 2 – Add alcohol or no alcohol
The recipe below will work for any age. But another way to make it is to add an alcoholic liqueur to it.
After all when blended with ice cream it is called Heisse Liebe (hot love) in Austria. 🙂
A very popular one is the Bols raspberry liqueur (available on Amazon), although it can be fun experimenting with different options.
All you do is add 50 ml to the saucepan when cooking the raspberries and then (as below) just pour it on top of the ice cream.
Item 3 – The ice cream
There are many different types of ice cream. When buying ice cream the key to focus on are the ingredients. Often they simple won’t contain ‘cream’ but are made with vegetable fat and loads of added chemicals.
2 easy tips for selecting ice cream:
- The obvious one – look at the ingredient label
- Weigh it with your hands – if you lift a tub up in the supermarket and compare it with others you will feel a real difference. The ‘cheapo’ ones will have loads of air and stabilisers. The better ones will be heavier with more natural ingredients.
When eating you will taste the difference.
