Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
8 4 x 3 x 1/2-inch slices French bread
4 tablespoons raspberry preserves
32 fresh raspberries
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), coarsely chopped
6 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
8 teaspoons (packed) golden brown sugar
Ingredient info: Mascarpone cheese is an Italian cream cheese that's sold at many supermarkets and at Italian markets.

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange 4 bread slices, buttered side down, on baking sheet; spread each with 1 tablespoon preserves. Arrange 8 berries over preserves on each slice. Sprinkle chocolate evenly over each, leaving 1/2-inch border. Spread mascarpone over plain side of remaining 4 bread slices, leaving 1/2-inch border. Place bread slices, mascarpone side down, atop each chocolate-topped bread slice. Sprinkle buttered side of sandwiches with 1 teaspoon brown sugar; press lightly to adhere.
  • Grill each sandwich until chocolate melts and bread is golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to work surface; cool 5 minutes. Using serrated knife, cut each sandwich in half. Transfer to plates.

This recipe was a disaster! The chocolate and raspberries were too tart and the mascarpone cheese was too runny. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and raspberry together, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were well-balanced and the mascarpone cheese added a nice creaminess. I would definitely make this again.

Not bad, but not great. The chocolate and raspberries were good, but the mascarpone cheese was a bit too rich for my taste.

Easy to make and delicious! I used store-bought puff pastry and it turned out great. The chocolate and raspberries were a perfect match.

This recipe was an absolute delight! The combination of chocolate, raspberries, and mascarpone cheese was heavenly. The panini was crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. I will definitely be making this again and again!
