Ingredients

2-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup raspberry liqueur
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Fresh raspberries

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat 1-1/2 cups cream and sugar over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan. Whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches at least 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chocolate, liqueur and vanilla.
In a large bowl, beat remaining cream until stiff peaks form; fold into chocolate mixture. Spoon into dessert glasses. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Garnish with raspberries. Yield: 10 servings.
