Fun treat! Made for 2 using 6 ounces of raspberries. I so can see Grand Marnier in this. maybe topped with some luscious whipped cream Made for ZWT 6 thanks! Keep in mind this is a wonderful as the champagne you use. i did like the foam on top making it look like it was just poured. A nice touch! Garnished with a fresh mint sprig. made for ZWT6 Thanks for this special very low fat dessert.

This was sooo good! It was a very light and refreshing dessert. The taste of the Champagne really came through, and our raspberries were really sweet and tasty. The only change I made was to use a pink Champagne. I had a bit of an issue with it foaming, but it did calm down before it set. Great summer dessert. Thanks Mommy Diva!
