This raspberry sauce is so beautiful and delicious, you and your Valentine may not even need the cake. This will absolutely work even if you use frozen raspberries, but nothing compares to the flavor of the sauce if you can somehow find and use fresh raspberries.

Ingredients

Directions

Chef's Note

If you want something a little thicker to serve over ice cream, for example, don't add any water.
