Background
If you’re after a quick and easy, no-bake dessert this Mixed Berries Fool will tick all the boxes. You can make it with your favourite cookie, shortbread or biscuit – these can be gluten-free too (I used Amaretti bicuits). For special occasions I recommend adding a couple of spoonful of sweet liqueur (such as Creme De Framboise or Amaretto) to the fruits instead of the water. This dessert can be made up to 2 days ahead, so it’s perfect for dinner parties!
Ingredients
- 2 small pack of vanilla sugar (10g each)
- 150g frozen mixed berries
- 227ml double cream
- ½ cup crushed shortbread or ginger biscuits ( can be gluten-ree)
- Extra berries to garnish
Instructions
- Put 1 sachet of sugar and frozen berries into a food processor and process until coarse or smooth, depending on your liking. Add a couple of spoonful of water (or liqueur), and whizz until you get a thick, mixture. Set aside.
- Pour the cream and the other sachet of vanilla sugar into a medium sized bowl and whisk or beat with an electric mixer until you get a thick but fluffy cream.
- Crush your chosen biscuits to breadcrumbs.
- Get 4-6 small glasses or bowls ready. Spoon a heaped Tbsp of the crumble into the bottom of each vessel, then spread some fruit purée over it, followed by some cream mixture. Repeat the layers once more.
- Finally add a few frozen berries to garnish and finish off with some biscuits sprinkled on top.
- Cover the pots and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
