Raspberry Cream Love is a quick and simple dish that requires basic equipment and only a few
ingredients. Though raspberries naturally grow in the summer, fresh raspberries can often be found year-round at major supermarkets.http://www.raspberries.us/

To make Raspberry Cream Love, you will first need to gather the required ingredients. Refer to the
following list of food items:

• 8 ounces of whipping cream, chilled
• 1-2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar
• Small bowl of raspberries
• Chocolate Florentine cookies (two per serving)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXw0OmYfQS8
  

Chocolate Florentine cookies are thin, crispy cookies made of oats and/or nuts, sugar, vanilla, corn syrup and chocolate. You can buy packaged Florentine cookies at the grocery
store, or you can bake them at home beforehand.http://www.cooksrecipes.com/cookie/ milk_chocolate_florentine_cookies_recipe.html

Preparing Raspberry Cream Love does not require too much equipment. Since you will be whipping the cream, you can use a mixing bowl and an electric mixer with beaters. If you do not have an electric mixer, you can simply use a whisk to whip the cream by hand.   Be aware than an electric mixer can be more prone to over-whipping the cream, so you may want to use a whisk regardless.http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/%20cooking-tips-techniques/baking/whip-cream-00000000002253/index.html  You will also need a spoon to scoop the whipped cream and one or more plates on which to place the dessert.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXw0OmYfQS8

After you have gathered the necessary ingredients and equipment, you are ready to prepare the
Raspberry Cream Love.

1. Pour the chilled cream into the mixing bowl. Begin mixing on low speed to avoid splattering, and then increase to medium speed. If you are using a whisk, mix with large and quick motions. Regularly change directions to add the most air to the cream and to prevent your arm from getting too sore.http:/%20/www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/cooking-tips-techniques/baking/whip-cream-00000000002253/%20index.html
2. When the cream starts to thicken, add the confectioners’ sugar and raspberries. Continue mixing. Add more raspberries to achieve a deeper pink color if desired. Whip the cream until soft peaks begin to form. Avoid over-whipping so the mixture does not turn to butter.
3. Place one Florentine cookie on a plate. Scoop two or three spoonfuls of cream onto the first cookie, and then top it with a second cookie to form a type of sandwich.
4. Place several fresh raspberries around the Raspberry Cream Love to garnish the dish and add more color.
5. Serve and enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXw0OmYfQS8
