Submitted by ladyroseofrohan

"This is an attractive, individualized dessert that makes any meal seem classy. For this recipe, it is best if you have timbales or dariole molds, although you can simply use small cups. Also, you can make your own creme de framboise with raspberries, wine and brandy, if you don't find it at the store."
