Blushing Virgin

This is a German dessert loaded with calories and fat....but oh so good. 

1 cup buttermilk 
3/4 cup sugar 
2 cups heavy cream 
2 Tbls lemon juice 
2 Tbls fruit schnapps  
1 package unflavored gelatin 
4 cups fresh raspberries 
Confectioners sugar for dusting 
Mint leaves for garnish 

Whisk buttermilk with half the sugar and half the cream until light and 
fluffy. Stir in lemon juice and schnapps. 

Stir unflavored geletin into the buttermilk mixture and put into the 
refgerator for about 30 minutes until thick. (you should be able to run 
a fork over it and it holds it's trail) 

Wash the raspberries, mix with rest of sugar and leave to weep and make 
it's own juice. When juice is made from berries..Place the berries into a
strainer...reserving juice. 

Whip remaining cream until stiff and fold into buttermilk mixture. Divide 
THAT mixture into half and mx one half with berry juice. Divide the colored 
half among the dessert plates. 

Place some raspberries scattered on top and spoon on the white cream and
top off with rest of berries. 

Put in refrigerator until completely set. 

Just before serving...dust with confectioners sugar.
