Raspberry and confectionery have always had a great affinity: the red fruit is used for its strong taste in a delicate texture and for its unique mix of sweet and sour which gives the best confectionery creations an inimitable touch.
Combine this with the exclusivity and attractiveness of berries and the raspberry becomes an essential ingredient in Christmas desserts.
So are we ready to choose at least one recipe for the coming Christmas period?
Let's start with this Christmas tart, a very easy cake that I'm sure everyone will love! A very soft and fluffy red base, reminiscent of Christmas, and a tasty and very simple filling of cream and mascarpone cheese! We can decorate it with redcurrants or raspberries, it will be a delicate and fresh cake!
The Christmas log with mascarpone, chocolate and raspberries is a perfect dessert for the Christmas holidays, impressive and above all good. Here is the recipe to prepare it.
To make the Raspberry Chocolate Supreme Cake, start by breaking up the chocolate and melting it in a small saucepan over a bain-marie.
Raspberry coulis is a thick, very easy to prepare sauce, usually used to enrich and complete panna cotta, cheesecake and desserts in general. The coulis is a very popular pastry preparation, which can be made with different types of fruit, although without doubt the most scenic ones are those with very bright colours, such as coulis made with red fruits, such as strawberries and raspberries. Raspberry coulis is a very simple preparation that can be used not only to enrich apparently simple desserts, but also to make a good homemade ice cream more delicious or a simple semifreddo particularly spectacular.
Here is a fresh and light recipe, perfect to end a hearty lunch. This modern version of tronchetto has won everyone over and is not as difficult to prepare as it sounds!
Pandoro filled with cream, ganache and raspberries, a triumph of taste and colour, perfect to serve during festive lunches and not only! In fact, it's also a great idea to present after the holidays, when we still have a lot of pandoro in the pantry and don't know what to do with it!
How about this haute patisserie recipe? Master Pastry Chef #AMPI Fabrizio Galla gives us the elegant recipe for Christmas Sfoglia, made with puff pastry and a tasty raspberry creamy.
A real dessert for a big occasion that will amaze everyone: the Raspberry and Chocolate Ganache Tart.

The Christmas trunk is a classic dessert at this time of year. Here we offer it in a mascarpone version with a soft biscuit soaked in coffee and a light mascarpone cream, all covered with a veil of bitter cocoa and presented with fresh, sweet raspberries.
After a good meal, there is not always room for dessert! So we present a Christmas crumble with ricotta and jam. A simple dessert that is quick and easy to prepare. It will be hard to give up this Christmas crumb cake! Why Christmas! I have flavoured the shortcrust pastry and the ricotta with ginger and cinnamon, two spices widely used in Christmas biscuits. The filling of the Christmas sbriciolata is double! A layer of ricotta and one of jam. You can choose the flavour you prefer. I opted for raspberry jam, which goes very well with ginger and cinnamon.
Puff pastry swirls with raspberries and pomegranate seeds are a very simple, quick and scenic Christmas dessert.
Merry Christmas to all readers of Italian Berry!
