first homemade dessert

for dessert with the salmon, i made homemade brownies with raspberry coulis!

brownie recipe here: http://itsybitsyfoodies.com/heart-brownies-a-la-mode/

i adapted that site's raspberry coulis a little...

• heat 1/4 cup water, 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries, and about 2 tbs sugar in a small sauce pan at high heat.
• heat and stir until boiling, then reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally.
• after reduced, strain to remove the seeds and add a couple squeezes of lemon juice.

as you can see, i served the brownies with vanilla ice cream while they were still warm from the oven. heart shapes are optional. :) this was amazing. great homemade brownie recipe--very rich and gooey outcome. good with the slightly sour coulis. mmmmmmmmmm
