Directions

Let the whipped cream cheese come to room temperature to ensure it melts smoothly.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/2 cup of cold water until smooth and free of lumps.
-
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the crushed raspberries and stir well to combine.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.

Immediately pour the hot raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, discarding the seeds.
-
Transfer the strained raspberry sauce into a fondue pot or heatproof serving dish.
-
Add the room-temperature whipped cream cheese to the warm sauce and stir vigorously until completely melted and smooth.
-
Stir in the sugar and gradually mix in the brandy, if using, until fully incorporated.
