Top 10 raspberry recipes

We count down our top 10 raspberry recipes. Be warned – when you see them, you'll want to make every single one!

Enjoy a slice of decadence with this creamy tart. Rich with cocoa powder, dark chocolate and fresh fruit, it looks and tastes amazing but doesn't take a huge amount of effort to make.

It packs a punch but you'll easily find room for a second sliver.

Raspberry and yoghurt tea loaf

Discerning tea-breakers will love this one. Other summer fruits like blueberries can be paired with the raspberries to create more interesting flavours, or entirely substituted if raspberries aren't your thing.

Use the largest lemon you can find for a perfect zesty zing, and get that kettle on.

Raspberry and blackcurrant jelly

Go retro with this wibbly-wobbly dessert. Classically paired with ice cream, though a drizzle of single cream wouldn't go amiss either.

It's no secret that kids love jelly, and with the summer holidays coming up, this could occupy you all nicely for a bit.

Raspberry cheesecake brownies

Raspberries and chocolate go hand in hand in this gorgeeously gooey cheesecake brownie recipe. Separate but simple brownie and cheesecake mixes are swirled into each other to create a marbling effect, and fresh raspberries are added for a touch of colour and fruity flavour.

Hazelnut thins with raspberries

A rather elegant dessert, and it's not too filling so it's a good way to round off a large meal. Purée your fruit (a mixture of raspberries and strawberries, though you could easily use other berries instead) and sandwich this, with fromage frais, between two buttery hazelnut biscuits. Dust icing sugar on top.

Raspberry and violet jam

Picking your own raspberries and making your own jam is one of summer's greatest pleasures.

The smell of jam wafting from the kitchen is likely to trigger some nostalgic memories of summers past: try this violet-infused version to make the aroma even more attractive.

Apple and raspberry crumble

Crumble is an autumnal pudding staple, and these mini tarts are packed full of the warming flavours of cooked apple, almonds and cinnamon.

If you're struggling to find raspberries later in the year, blackberries are a great alternative.

Raspberry vinegar

If you're looking for a way to carry the flavour of raspberries into autumn and beyond, add a touch of summer to recipes later in the year with this raspberry vinegar.
Crush the fruit and mix with white wine vinegar, leave to soak and boil off after a couple of days.

Raspberry brioche bites

These miniature brioches look innocent enough, but have a secret centre of white chocolate ganache and raspberry jam. An incredible and highly edible idea.

You'd be wise to double up on the ingredients, because you're going to want more. And more.

Beet-berry sorbet

A hybrid sorbet that's deliberately not over-sweet. Raspberries, beetroot and lemon juice are the main ingredients here.

You don't need to do much in the way of preparation, though a little patience is needed to achieve the correct consistency. Then simply freeze and enjoy.
