- 2 teaspoons orange zest, divided
- Ice

Place half the raspberries in a blender with half the ice cream, 1 tablespoon almond liqueur, and 1 teaspoon orange zest. Pulse the blender until the mixture is combined. Add about half a tray of ice and blend until smooth.

Love Giada and her recipes. I made this tonight with Frangelica because my amoretta disappeared. It was amazing.

I love Giada... and I was not so into this recipe. It seems that the flavors didn't blend like I'd hoped. The cookie on top was nice, but overall I wasn't impressed w/ this one.

I love this recipe! I am pregnant, so I added almond extract instead of the liquer...it worked great! I can't wait to try it when I can have the liquer instead! Thanks Giada!
