Raspberries in St-Germain Mascarpone Custard

Author Notes: This dessert was inspired by the Blackberries in Mascarpone Cream recipe in Italian Two Easy: Simple Recipes From The London River Cafe (by Rose Gray and Ruth Rodgers). I happened upon a bottle of St-Germain recently and love it, but the liqueur is optional; I baked this in a cast-iron skillet but any suitable sized baking dish will do. - WinnieAb
Serves 4-6
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur- optional
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (optional) organic palm sugar (or organic brown sugar or other natural sweetener of your choice)
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest- or more to taste
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the mascarpone, the St-Germain, the egg yolks, and the palm sugar together with a fork. The mixture will be thick.
- Transfer the custard mixture into your baking dish (I used a cast-iron skillet), then scatter the raspberries over the custard (you could also put the raspberries in first, and spoon the custard over them).
- Using a microplane, zest a lime over the raspberries/custard. I'd estimate I only added about a 1/2 teaspoon of lime zest, but you are welcome to use more.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the custard is just barely set and the edges are starting to darken. Sprinkle the additional (optional) 1 teaspoon palm sugar over the dessert right after you take it out of the oven.

Folks- I made this again 2 days ago and it did not set at all. Not sure why, but I am going back to the drawing board with this recipe...

What size baking dish or pan would that "suitable size" be??
almost 2 years ago hardlikearmour
hardlikearmour is a trusted home cook.
The total volume of ingredients is approx. 3.5 cups. Custard usually puffs up a bit, so you'd want something that could hold about 1.5 quarts. I'd think a 9" pie plate or similar sized casserole dish would work.

Yes- an 8 or 9 inch pie pan would be perfect. See my note above, though- I made this again recently and the custard didn't set properly...so I need to retest and see why not.

Maraschino liqueur is another amazing companion to raspberries - and strawberries too.

Boy, how did I miss this?? Everybody is into this elderflower liqueur. Time to try this for certain next dinner party in 2 weeks.

Should or could this be served chilled or brought to room temperature, Winnie? So much easier at a dinner party...

ps Thumbs up - I'm all over your recipe, as you can tell...

Liz- it still tastes yummy at room temp and chilled, but it's not all that attractive :)

How did I miss this one? St Germain and champagne is my favorite summer cocktail, so I'll definitely make this lovely recipe.

Thanks and I have not seen raw coconut crystals...where do you get those? I'm sure any granulated sweetener will work just fine :)

My health food store in has them, they are from Coconut Secret, you can find all about them online: http://www.coconutsecret...

I've seen some of their other products, and have tried the liquid sweetener. Haven't seen the crystals but will look for them!

Lovely combination of flavors...all favorites of mine. Like using palm sugar, have you used the raw coconut crystals much? Do you think they would work here too?
