Dark Chocolate, Raspberry and Brie Grilled Cheese {Week 6 of The Grilled Cheese Transformation}

Twelve week transformations are tough. Twelve weeks is a long time (it is a whole seasons worth, think about how long winter feels!) and priorities can change. As such I will not be continuing with the Grilled Cheese Transformation. Grilled Cheese is not something that should be forced and, I have come to the conclusion that the most enjoyable cheese toasties are the ones you can make with whatever you have lying about in your fridge.

However, I will not leave you without one final grilled cheese extravaganza- The dark chocolate, raspberry and brie grilled cheese by Ambitious Kitchen. Monique's blog is a foodspiration gem with an enormous number of creative recipes for healthy food and a good little dose of really unhealthy but exceptionally delicious recipes (Nutella stuffed brown butter & sea salt chocolate chip cookies anyone?).

Dessert grilled cheese is not something I have considered previously. A major oversight. However, I do suggest that if you are planning one of these for dessert you put a bit of thought into dinner. Plan something light and healthy, like a salad. Don't hoe into one of these sandwiches after a huge plate of pasta, or steak and chips, or you will die. Trust me, I'm a health professional.

You will need:
Sliced bread (we had a lovely spelt sourdough)- lightly buttered on the outside
Raspberries (frozen are fine)
Dark chocolate
Brie (I used triple cream)

Load up your bread

Rutherglen Wine Tour

If you are going to stay in a wine region you really must sample the wine. We ended up in Rutherglen because I was looking for a very dog-friendly B&B (see here). The other lovely thing that Must Love Dogs B&B offer, is that for a small extra fee Charlie will take you on an afternoon wine tour.
Rutherglen is an old gold rush town as well as being one of Australia's oldest wine regions. It is particularly known for it's fortified wines- as we were informed from our first venture into the town.
