This frozen dessert, similar to sorbet, is easy to prepare and almost entirely fat-free. Much of the alcohol evaporates during cooking, but the flavor of champagne remains. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh raspberries |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup champagne |
Directions:
1. Place the raspberries and lime juice in a blender; process until smooth.
2. Combine water, sugar, and champagne in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 1 minute or until sugar melts. Remove from heat; stir in raspberry purée. Pour the mixture into a large, shallow baking dish. Cover and freeze 8 hours.
3. Remove dish from freezer, and let stand for 5 minutes. Scrape entire mixture with a fork until fluffy.
