Creamy Raspberry Shots

Overview:

Now what is a Culinary corner without a "Dessert Recipe". Tickle your taste buds with one of my favorite creations !! "The Creamy Raspberry Shots". Well, Its not totally my creation but I thought of a presentation like this after watching this Dessert recipe on TV. Although, on TV they were mixing-matching various portions to create your own dessert thing.. but since I am the author of "www.healthymealsonline.blogspot.com" , I had to think of the health quotient too. We will present the Dessert in a way so that less portion is consumed and everyone could enjoy some of it without much guilt !!

Preparation Time : 15-20 mins 

Ingredients:

You will need :

• 2 Boxes of Raspberries
• 2 cups sugar
• light whipping cream
• lemon juice
• 1 tsp butter
• Vanilla essence
• fine breadcrumbs
• couple of strawberries diced into halves

Recipe : 

1. Wash a handful of raspberries and set aside.

2. Heat 1 tsp butter in a skillet and add rest of the raspberries to it. Add one cup sugar and cook the mixture for around 5-7 minutes till the raspberries have become soft and mushy.

3. Now add the lemon juice and cook again for a couple of minutes so that the acidity settles down evenly.

4. Set the mixture aside and mix the fresh raspberries in it. Stir gently and let the mixture cool.

5. Whip cream along with sugar and vanilla essence.

Serving/Presentation :

This Dessert can be very beautifully presented in a tequila shot glass or a Margarita/Martini glass.

Place a layer of fine bread crumbs at the end of the glass, top it with a layer of raspberries mixture and layer some whipped cream over it.

Run these layers again if needed (as per the size of the serving glass).

Another Presentation

Make sure that topmost layer is cream. Now place the strawberry halves diagonally and top it with a mint leaf if you want a little scent and different color to your dessert !
