Mmmm... this sounds so good! You probably need fresh raspberries for this to be best though, right? Frozen is about all i can get right now... might have to wait until summer to try this recipe.

Thanks for sharing...

Hi Grumblebee,
I've only used the fresh, but, since they do have a liqueur on them why could'nt you try using frozen if you drain them a bit..I'll try them sometime and see. Glad you like the recipe.

Kadesma, have you ever made it without the raspberry or orange liqueur? Do you think that it would turn out just as well sans the alcohol?

Piccolina,
no I've not made it without, but, I don't know why not..it's just over the berries and I'd think orange water or rose water might do just as well, even a little orange juice and maybe add a little zest to it..I think it would work.

I myself would probably like it better without..

Ohhhh I just love the rose water idea, Kadesma - rose is a flavour that I adore. Orange would be lovely too, thanks for those thoughts - I was pondering mint, it can be nice with raspberries and is always great with chocolate - what do you think?
