1/2 cup sour cream
8 purchased macaroon cookies, crumbled

Preparation

  1. For Dessert:

    Step 1

    Half fill medium saucepan with water and bring to boil. Whisk sugar, yolks and 1/4 cup cream in small metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of boiling water and whisk until candy thermometer registers 160°F, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula, about 4 minutes. Remove from over water. Pour yolk mixture into large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat mixture until cool and thick, about 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla and brandy.

    Beat 1 1/2 cups cream with sour cream to stiff peaks in medium bowl. Fold cream into yolk mixture in 2 batches. Gently fold in half of cookie crumbs. Pour mixture into 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2-inch-high sides. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Freeze overnight.

    Step 3

    Release sides of springform pan. Garnish dessert with fresh raspberries if desired. Slice into wedges and serve with raspberry sauce.

    Step 4

    Puree raspberries and syrup in blender or processor until smooth. Strain to remove seeds. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Makes about 1 cup.
