At a glance
You're looking at a no-bake dessert that comes together in just 20 minutes of hands-on work, with the rest being chilling time. The key is keeping your whipping light and controlled—overwhipping the mascarpone can turn it lumpy, so a gentle touch is your friend here. Layer your way to a stunning two-tone treat with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.

Melt the chocolate
Split the work between a couple of pots. Pour the cream into one pot, bring it to the boil, take it off the heat and break the chocolate into it.

Simmer the raspberries
Tip the raspberries into a second pot — frozen is fine — and sprinkle over a little cane sugar. Simmer until soft, almost mushy, I'd say. Take off the heat. Let both the raspberries and the chocolate mixture cool, stirring the chocolate occasionally.

Whip the mascarpone
Sweeten the mascarpone with a little icing sugar, pour in the cream and whip briefly. Really just briefly — only until the mixture comes together and turns light and fluffy. Overwhipping can cause the mascarpone to turn lumpy.
