Tom's Chocolate Raspberry Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices fresh bread
• 1 package (6 ounces or 1 1/3 cups fresh) Raspberries
• 1/2 bar (2 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate, broken into small pieces
• 2 teaspoons butter
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Celia's Chocolate Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar

Directions

1. Combine mascarpone, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl. Place bread slices on work surface. Spread mascarpone mixture on bread, evenly dividing among slices. Top 4 slices each with a single layer raspberries and single layer chocolate pieces. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Top each with 1 of remaining bread slices and press down firmly.
4. Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until melted. Add sandwiches, in batches if necessary, and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until chocolate is melted and bread is browned on both sides. Remove from pan and cut each sandwich with a special cookie cutter shape. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
