Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • spatula
  • Wide serving dish
  • Kitchen torch
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup superfine sugar
  • 7 cups about 2 lbs. raspberries (discard any “bruisers”)
  • ⅓ cup demerara sugar

Instructions

Whip the Cream:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Add half of the superfine sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form again.
  • Gently fold in the remaining superfine sugar until well combined.

Prepare the Raspberries:

  • Carefully fold the raspberries into the whipped cream, ensuring they are well coated without crushing them.

Assemble the Dish:

  • Transfer the raspberry mixture to a wide serving dish.
  • Sprinkle the demerara sugar evenly over the top.

Caramelize the Sugar:

  • Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the demerara sugar until it bubbles and darkens in spots, creating a crispy caramelized layer.

Chill and Serve:

  • Refrigerate the dessert for about 15 minutes to allow the sugar to harden.
  • Scoop servings into bowls, making sure each portion includes some of the crunchy sugar topping.
  • Serve immediately.

Wine Advice:

Pair this dessert with a sparkling wine like Prosecco or a light, fruity dessert wine such as Moscato d’Asti to complement the sweetness and acidity of the raspberries.
