White Chocolate Mousse With Raspberries
6 servings
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh raspberries or frozen raspberries (washed & divided 3-1)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons framboise liqueur
6 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup milk, warmed
1 cup heavy cream
2 egg whites, room temperature
1 pinch cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons finely chopped toasted almonds
raspberries (to garnish)
mint sprigs (to garnish)
Preparation:
1. In a blender or food processor fitted with metal blade, combine 1-1/2 cups of the raspberries with the sugar.
2. Puree until smooth.
3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
4. Add the framboise and stir to mix.
5. Stir in the remaining whole raspberries, halved, into the puree.
6. Set aside.
7. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set over pan of gently simmering water; do not allow the bowl to touch the water.
8. Heat the chocolate until it is melted and smooth and registers 140F on an instant-read thermometer.
9. Gradually add the warm milk to the chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth.
10. Remove the bowl from the water and allow mixture to cool until it is almost at room temperature.
11. In a bowl, using an electric mixer on high, beat the cream just until soft peaks form.
12. In another bowl, using clean beaters, beat together the egg whites and cream of tartar on high until stiff peaks form.
13. Using a rubber spatula fold half of the whites into chocolate mixture to lighten it.
14. Fold the remaining whites, whipped cream and vanilla into the chocolate mixture just until combined and no white drifts remain.
15. DO NOT OVERMIX.
16. You may cover and refrigerate the mousse for up to 1 day ahead.
17. To serve, spoon about half of the mousse into 6 parfait glasses, half filling each glass.
18. Top with raspberry sauce, again using about half and dividing equally.
19. Then sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of almonds.
20. Repeat with remaining mousse and raspberry sauce.
21. Sprinkle with remaining finely chopped almonds. Garnish with raspberries and mint sprigs.

Pear and Cranberry Crisp
6 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter or margarine, cut into pieces
Fruit Filling:
7 large slightly under-ripe pears, peeled, cored, and each cut lengthwise into 8 slices
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Preparation:
Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish with 2-inch sides.
To make the topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
To make the filling: Toss together all the ingredients and spoon into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling. Set the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the topping is golden and the filling thickens and bubbles. Cool at least 20 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
