Light but impressive dessert?

[MazdaUK]

Any one have a good recipe for a dessert to follow a heavy beef pot roast? referably something which can be made in advance. I have raspberries in my freezer from last summer so it might be good to use those My orginal idea was a chocolate brownie cake, but not only is it heavy its very big so I'll be eating leftovers and ruining my diet.

Any suggestions?

How about an angel food cake? You can use the raspberries to make a nice sauce, or serve them as is. Maybe add a bit of whipped cream? Thats shouldn't hurt the diet too much.

I don't know if it's warm there, but a nice sherbert topped with the raspberries would be nice and light.

We had 3 inches of Snow last Sunday, so its not warm! But the recipe sounds nice if you have it!

Okay, sherbert really won't be good on a cold day, but how about a Raspberry tart?

How about meringues with raspberries?

Here's a recipe from Ina Garten: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_28417,00.html

and here's one for making the actual meringues: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_130237,00.html

I like the tart, but I need something with little or no leftovers That would ruin my diet! My DSis unfortunately doesn't like meringues or I'd do that (DH and I love them). Maybe I can do half the tart quantity and do individual tarts.

how about a rasberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream?

That might be nice. I've only made it with fruits that need cooking, do you just put the cobbler on top of the raw fruit and pop it in the oven?
