Recipe Story

Hi, I have been a food technology teacher for 25 years and many years ago I was featured on Granada Reports with Fred the weatherman cooking another of my desserts.Fame at last or so I thought.The idea for this recipe was passed on to me by my sister and I have developed it on the way. Most of our friends now have the recipe and ot is being served up over the Northwest

This is one of my most popular desserts at dinner parties and is always the first to go. It is also one of the easiest and quickest desserts that I make. It will serve approx 6-8 and is still good the next day IF any is left over.Sometimes my husband will offer to help and if he can make anyone can!!

Servings:

Serves 6-8

Ingredients


450g fresh raspberries
2x200g creme fraiche
50g icing sugar
300ml double cream
50g granulated sugar
