This is a rather simple yet elegant dessert! Anything with raspberries gets my attention and this one really is delish! Since this came from Food Network's Every Day Italian you see why she used Prosecco. It's not a children's dessert if made as written. However, since DH and I both take med that discourages alcohol, I made it with St. Julian's raspberry Asti Spumante (non-alcohol) that I found at a gourmet party store. It may be widely available, I'm not sure.
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minute
Inactivity Prep Time: 3 hours 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
User rating: 
1 6 ounce pkg. raspberry gelatin
1 c. boiling water
2 c. Prosecco or other sparkling wine, chilled
1 1/2 c. frozen (sweetened) raspberries, not thawed
1/3 c. mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1/2 c. walnuts or almonds toasted and chopped(I used toasted sliv. almonds)
Whisk the gelatin and boiling water in a medium bowl until the gelatin is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until lukewarm, about 25 minutes. Stir in the Prosecco. Cover and refrigerate until the gelatin thickens but does not set, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Stir in the raspberries (bubbles will form in the gelatin mixture). Divide the gelatin among 6 champagne flutes or individual dessert bowls. Cover and refrigerate until the gelatin is set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
Dollop the mascarpone cheese atop each serving, then sprinkle the nuts and serve.

It sounds pretty too Tanya..I have Italian aquaintances.. they have never mentioned that alcohol..Hmm what else could one use?I handle wine very well:)
Seems tart and cool and creamy:) Would a mint sprig top it off well?

Oooo, that sounds delicious, Tanya. Any with raspberries is wonderful as far as
I'm concerned. Raspberries and chocolate are a perfect combo, I think! This sounds wonderful!
