This dish (and the previous review) was so intriguing I just had to try it! And it's really quick and delicious! Think of a warm raspberry fool, unfortunately without the crème brûlée crust I had hoped for.
We used crème fraîche and half the amount of sugar mentioned, which was a good balance for us (though I thought it was a pity that it turned so runny, but I guess there's nothing to be done about that).
We had to keep it under the broiler for at least five minutes, but that's probably also be... Read more

Three simple ingredients - 3 minutes - and it will knock your socks off!

Here you layer sour cream (I used non-fat yogurt), fresh raspberries, a bit more yogurt/s. cream, and then a generous layer of brown sugar. About 2 1/2 minutes under the broiler - so it starts to melt - grab your spoon and go.

The only caution is don't let it broil too long. Its easy to burn the brown sugar. A great simple low-fat dessert.

And the best thing? A second helping only takes another 3 minutes!

Love that photo! How did you take it?

Hi Friederike! I use a digital SLR, I use the program settings - no flash - and adjusted so that there is a very shallow depth of field. I also recently bought a glass kitchen table. I think that is what gives it a floating quality. I really enjoy photography, and some of my pictures look gorgeous after upload, but some look awful - I don't know but I suspect something occasionally happens during upload. The final thing - I always crop it square -- this site will do a crop in some random fashion - I like having the control over where the square crop is made.
