Mike and Georg had this dessert while we were on vacation in Vieques (Puerto Rico). I came home and found the recipe online and was surprised at how easy it is to prepare. The biggest trick is unmolding it without breaking it. I run a hot knife around the rim and dip the cups into hot water for a few seconds. Tip onto dessert plates and top with fresh raspberries and a drizzle of raspberry puree.
