Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 Cups Fresh Raspberries
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Framboise Liqueur
10 Ounces Bittersweet Chocolate, Coarsely Chopped
4 Tablespoons (1/2 Stick) Unsalted Butter
1 Cup Heavy Cream -- chilled
3 Jumbo Eggs, Separated -- at room temperature
3/4 Cup Heavy Cream, Softly Whipped -- for garnish
1/2 Pint Fresh Raspberries -- for garnish

1. In a small bowl, crush the raspberries roughly with a fork. Stir in the
sugar and the Framboise. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 30
minutes.
2. In a modified double boiler, melt the chocolate and the butter.
3. While the chocolate is melting, whip the cream. Stir the egg yolks into
the crushed raspberry mixture. Whisk the egg whites.
4. Remove the bowl of melted chocolate from the modified double boiler and
place it on a work surface. All at once, stir in the raspberry mixture. Stir
in the whipped cream. Fold in the egg whites.
5. Turn the mousse into a serving bowl or individual dishes. Chill until
firm, about 2 hours for individual portions, five hours for a large bowl of
mousse.
6. Garnish each serving with a dollop of softly whipped cream and one or two
fresh raspberries.
