Preparation
What You Need
Instructions
In a small heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, heat 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the cream, stirring often, until steaming.
Remove bowl from pan and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth (return it over the pan of hot water if it doesn’t all melt being careful not to overheat it).
In a chilled bowl, using an electric mixer, whip remaining cream until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar and vanilla just until stiff peaks form.
Fold one-quarter of the whipped cream into chocolate mixture then fold back into the remaining whipped cream. Fold in two-thirds of the raspberries.
Spoon into serving dishes and top with remaining raspberries.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Tips
Buy high quality chocolate for the best texture and flavour. Look for cocoa mass or cocoa liquor as the first ingredient on the label.
Fresh raspberries work well too!

put avacados in this dish for a more creamy texture.

I would portion this into disposable plastic wine glasses (the ones with the little pedestal base) for entertaining - then it's already portioned ahead of time for a cocktail party and easy clean-up for the hostess afterwards.

My tip is that you could use pudding from a box to make it even easier and then just whisk it. Then add the vanilla and other ingrediants. Then put on the raspberries and shredded chocolate. My sister and I saw this recipe and saw that it was too hard to make so we figured out another way and tested it.
