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

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
(see measure conversions for more information)

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.

- Decorate with mint leaves dipped in a little egg white and then icing sugar.
