Banana Chocolate Wrap With Easy Raspberry Sauce Toasted Recipes

RASPBERRY DESSERT SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. (I just use a fork to mix-very easy.) Combine cornstarch mixture, raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture, lightly mashing the raspberries as they begin to heat.
• Bring to a boil and let it boil for 3 full minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and-if desired for a richer flavor-stir in vanilla extract.
• Press the warm sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds, if desired. I use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the strainer, held over a bowl. It takes a couple minutes to really squeeze it all out.
• Feel free to serve warm over warm desserts, but it should be cooled to really thicken up. Cool the sauce completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, but the strained version is still liquid and perfect for drizzling.
• Cover and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

THE ULTIMATE RASPBERRY-CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, then pass them through a fine strainer or food mill. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, whisk together the cocoa and heavy cream. Add the butter, sugar, corn syrup and raspberries, and stir until well blended. Place the pan over medium heat and slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Let the mixture continue to boil slowly for eight minutes without stirring. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the sauce into a container. Let it cool for 15 minutes if serving it hot, or cover and refrigerate until needed. It will last for at least a month. The sauce may be reheated slowly.
