Cheese, beautiful cheese, This is the most spectacular, mouth watering dessert my mouth has experienced in a long while. Baked sweet Ricotta pudding with a dark chocolate sauce and baked raspberries. My partner found the recipe in July's gourmet magazine and added his twist. In the Gourmet mag recipe the pudding is served with roasted grapes.
Knowing my love of all things chocolate he created his own topping using shaved dark chocolate and raspberries he baked in butter, sugar and small amount of vinegar. That's what I call a man!
We paired this dessert with a very nice Syrah (2004), from Miraflores in El Dorado County. This bright nose grabbing syrah was a wonderful compliment to the fabulous dessert, with vanilla, mulberry, blueberry, black truffle, cocoa, and molasses. A full, luscious, opulently fruity entry gives way to rich oak notes. While the tannins are well-integrated, the oak flavors seem to stand out on their own. Here looking forward to all the twists and turns life's road still has to offer.
