Ingredients

  • 1 (750-ml) bottle Prosecco
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 2 cups (8 ounces) raspberries
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 lemon, zested

Method

  • For the syrup: In a medium saucepan, bring the Prosecco, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, star anise, and cinnamon stick to a boil, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat, until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer for 35 minutes until the mixture has reduced by half.
  • Add the mangoes and raspberries to the syrup and allow the mixture to cool for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the fruit and spoon into serving bowls.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick and star anise.
  • Pour the syrup into a pitcher.
  • Refrigerate the fruit and syrup until ready to serve.
  • For the cream: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream at high speed until thick.
  • Add the sugar and continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks.
  • Add the lemon zest and mix until just combined.
  • To serve: Put a dollop of cream on top of the fruit and drizzle each dish with the Prosecco syrup.
