- 142 ml double cream
- 1 x powdered sugar to dust
- 225 grams raspberries fresh or frozen defrosted
- 250 grams mascarpone cheese
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
- Break the chocolate into a bowl and add the butter.
- Stand the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and heat until melted (don?t allow the chocolate to overheat or boil).
- In a clean bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and caster sugar until thick and pale.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the egg yolks, then add the cream Carefully fold in the egg whites.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 25 minutes.
