An Italian favourite--a mix of sorbet and soft meringue.

Place 115 g caster sugar in a pan with 300 ml water, the lime zest,
juice, and mint. Bring to the boil. Leave to cool, then discard the
mint.

Place the raspberries and wine in a food processor or blender and
process to a purée. Stir into the lime mixture and place in a
freezer-proof container. Freeze until solid.

Remove the sorbet from the freezer and break up ice crystals with a
fork. Whisk the egg whites together until stiff, then gradually whisk
in the remaining sugar until thick and glossy. Fold into the sorbet
and beat until well mixed. Serve immediately with extra raspberries
and 1 tb raspberry liqueur over each serving. Decorate with geranium
leaves.

To Freeze:

Freeze at the end of stage 2 for up to 3 months.

Yield: 8 Servings
