Description
A bright, fresh layered dessert featuring mixed berries, whipped cream, and custard for a light and delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups vanilla custard
- 1 pound sponge cake or ladyfingers, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (to sweeten the berries)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the cream)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the mixed berries with the granulated sugar and let them sit for about 15 minutes.
- If using store-bought custard, skip the cooking step; if making from a mix, cook and cool before stirring in vanilla extract.
- To make whipped cream, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Cut the sponge cake or ladyfingers into even pieces.
- Layer in a glass bowl or cups: a layer of cake, custard, berries with syrup, and whipped cream. Repeat layers, ending with whipped cream on top.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and whole berries before serving.
Notes
Use ripe, firm berries for the best flavor. Store in the fridge and consume within 2 days for the best texture.
