If you think of clichés of love, Heisse Liebe is the delicious patisserie equivalent. Heisse Liebe, meaning ‘hot love’, is a classic warm German dessert consisting of stewed raspberries and vanilla ice cream. Slightly sticky and tart hot raspberries are poured over generous scoops of cool and creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s a showstopper of a dessert: two contrasting temperatures and flavours, condensed into one spoonful. German desserts are a classic example of a recipe that works because of the contrasts – the warm and cool, the sweet and tart. For someone seeking a slightly offbeat indulgence, Heisse Liebe is the perfect dessert.
