How to Make Blushing Maid German Raspberry Dessert

  1. Gently thaw 1 cup of raspberries.
  2. Process 4 cups pumpernickel bread (or other dark, hearty bread) into coarse crumbs using a food processor. Combine crumbs with 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate in a large glass bowl. Pour 1/4 cup raspberry schnapps (or Kirsch/Chambord) over the bread and chocolate mixture, ensuring everything is well moistened. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip 2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, cream together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar (or to taste).
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the yogurt cream over the soaked bread crumb mixture in the glass bowl.
  7. Top with the thawed raspberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer, for enhanced flavors).
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
