  1. PREHEAT oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. PRESS raspberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer or sieve. Return strained mixture to the pot. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tsp (10 mL) water, whisk into the raspberry mixture. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool.CUT each pastry rectangle in half. Divide ice-cream between 4 pieces of pastry. Drizzle with cooled raspberry sauce, cover with remaining pastry. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
