Instructions: If youre looking for a Valentines Day dessert, think red.

Then think a little more.

Consider a frozen dessert sweet enough to melt a heart - or hearts, if the cook is generous and sociable.

A red-raspberry ice-cream cake with raspberry amaretto sauce combines all these seductive qualities. Beyond the visual and romantic, this is a practical little number, too. Its a snap to make and you can prepare it up to a month ahead, then keep it frozen until you are ready to serve it.

Red raspberries, quick frozen, are available year-round in your grocers freezer section to combine with ice cream as this Valentine treat.

A 9 inch heart-shaped spring form pan will give you an appropriate shape, but if you dont have one you may substitute a 9 inch round spring form pan.
