Raspberry Chocolate Sundae

Summer is almost here so we're practicing...Ice Cream Sundaes seemed like a good idea. This is a really good recipe using fresh raspberries...another great thing about summer, the fruit!
Beck really loves these and I can use them to bribe him. A win-win!

Ingredients:
  • 6 oz Fresh Raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 4 tbs butter or margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
Directions:
  • Puree raspberries and strain through fine mesh strainer (Puree will be thick and it may be necessary to push it through using a flexible spoon or spatula)
  • Add raspberries, condensed milk, cream, sugar and syrup to sauce pan and bring to a boil
  • Add cocoa and butter and whisk to combine ( I used my hand blender)

Let sauce cool slightly and spoon over ice cream. I found the best vanilla ice cream, Marianne's Ice Cream made in Santa Cruz. Garnish with whole raspberries and mint. Rinse and repeat!
