Author Notes: This “Chocolate Decadence” spinoff is a little less decadent than the original recipe,because in this version the raspberries dominate, and the supporting role goes to a lemon-infused, white chocolate ganache that clings to the berries like an elegant cloak. The ganache thickens as it cools, sealing the fruit so that the berries stay plump and juicy. I made this on the Fourth of July—red berries, white cream, and dark blue-black raspberries. - AppleAnnie
Serves 4
- 1 pint fresh red raspberries, rinsed and dried
- 1 pint fresh black raspberries, rinsed and dried
- 3.5 ounces sweetened white chocolate (1 bar)
- 1 teaspoon Grated lemon zest (from ½ lemon--a generous teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon Amaretto
- 1-2 teaspoon mild honey
- 1/2 cup crème fraiche
- Arrange the raspberries in 4 serving bowls.
- Melt white chocolate (on stovetop or in microwave.)
- Add the grated lemon zest to the melted chocolate.
- Stir in the honey and amaretto and blend well.
- Add the crème fraiche and whisk until smooth.
- Spoon three tablespoons of the white chocolate ganache over each bowl of berries.
- Refrigerate for at least a half hour to let the ganache firm up.

Thank you Sagegreen-- I was surprised at how well the lemon flavor came across, above the white chocolate and creme fraiche. I have also tried a version with dark chocolate ganache, red and black raspberries, and little cubes of lemon cake.
