Hot Raspberry Dessert

Ingredients:
Raspberries, fresh
Sugar, to taste
Corn starch
Vanilla ice cream
Good quality chocolate sauce
Whipped cream - fresh is best
Place raspberries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar to taste. Let them sit for a while to soak up the sugar stirring occasionally, try not to smash berries. I do not add water but if the juice does not seem enough you can add water to make more liquid. Let the mixture come to a slow boil. Once boiling slowly, dissolve 2 tsp. of cornstarch in a cup of water and add to mix. Simmer on low until juice begins to thicken, this should only take a little while, juice should be syrupy.
Put ice cream in individual bowls, and pour over the hot raspberries, add whipped cream and chocolate sauce if desired; garnish with a mint leaf and fresh raspberry. 
What a simple, refreshing dessert!
