Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries


Diet, Schmiet. Some foods are worth breaking New Year's Resolutions - and this cake definitely fits the bill. Delicious, decadent, and drop-dead gorgeous, this cake is one of my favorite go-to recipes whenever I need the perfect finale for a celebratory meal.





Simple Blackberry Sorbet

Most frozen dessert recipes require tons of ingredients or a pricey ice cream maker. Not this one! With only three ingredients and a freezer you can make this easy sorbet. It is even surprisingly low in fat. Very cool and refreshing, it is the perfect finale to any summer picnic, barbecue, or cookout.

4 cups blackberries
2 cups sugar
2 cups buttermilk

Lightly mash the blueberries in a large bowl. Mix in the sugar and let the berry mixture macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pour the berry mixture into a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the berry mixture through a fine meshed sieve to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds and anything else that will not go through the sieve. Place the berry mixture in a 9 X13 metal pan. Mix in the buttermilk until smooth. Cover tightly and freeze for 8-10 hours. Using a large spoon, break the mixture into large chunks and place into a medium bowl. Beat the mixture until smooth, letting sit for a few minutes at room temperature if needed. Cover and freeze for at least three hours before serving.

Makes 8 servings.
