Raspberry Cream Mimosa
File under: liquid desserts. This mimosa recipe works just as well as an after-dinner indulgence as it does when paired with bacon and eggs in the morning.

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen raspberries (approximately 2 cups)
1/4 sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 bottle of champagne or sparkling wine
Fresh raspberries for garnish

Directions:
In a small saucepan, thaw raspberries on medium heat until they've broken down and become soup-like. Add sugar, and stir to combine. Remove from heat, and puree until well blended. Pour mixture through sieve into freezer-safe containers to remove raspberry seeds. Let mixture cool.

Add cream, stirring to combine. Place in freezer for three to four hours (or overnight), until frozen. When you're ready to serve, add two to three tablespoons to each champagne glass. Pour champagne over each, and garnish with raspberries.
