Best.Dessert.Ever

Our last dinner club featured a beer theme and I did the dessert.  It was absolutely fabulous & I will definitely make it again!  I used my new ice cream maker for it & that worked wonderfully.  The kids & I are looking forward to making our next batch of ice cream in a few days.  Even they loved the mascarpone ice cream, once they got over the fact that it was made out of cheese...

Framboise Lambic & Mascarpone Ice Cream Float

This recipe is by Will Fausser, Pastry Chef at the Fuego restaurant at La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa, A RockResort. He uses the homemade Mascarpone ice cream in a float made with Cantillon Framboise Lambic beer. [We used a peach lambic from East Wake Wines.]   Serve it in a burgundy glass for a truly delightful dessert.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Mascarpone Cheese
• 1 cup Milk
• 1½ cups Sugar
• 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• Framboise Lambic Beer

Preparation:

Combine the first four ingredients and blend them in a food processor. Proceed as usual following the instructions for your ice cream maker.

Fill burgundy glass around half-way with Lambic. Add a scoop of the ice cream. Serve with a small spoon and straw.
