Hi there
I don't often make desserts as hubby is not a sweet tooth. But sometimes he asks for one with 2 minutes notice and Im found at 9pm rummaging through the pantry and fridge to find something to make quickly. Simple is always best.
One such recipe was for a parfait which you can mix and match with any fruit you may have Ive made it with frozen berries or with fresh or canned fruit.
Ingredients
8 anzac biscuits broken up - Ive used good old vanilla wines too
1/2 cup of nuts - Ive used almonds or pistachios chopped up
2 tablespoons of melted butter
200 gms raspberries or strawberries
1-2 tablespoons of icing sugar - 1 if you have a hubby who doesn't like too sweet
1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
1 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
1/2 cup sour cream or creme fraiche or mascapone whatever you prefer
1/2 cup lemon curd or passionfruit
Process the biscuits and nuts in a food processor. Then toast in a pan with the melted butter and tip on a plate and put n the fridge to cool
Mascerate the berries by combining the berries, sugar and lime juice. Crush with a fork and taste. If too tart add another tablespoon of icing sugar.
Mix together the yoghurt and sour cream or whatever you are using. Then fold the curd or passionfruit. Don't over mix.
Ok then layer into glass bowls or glasses. Biscuits first leaving a little bit for garnish. Then yoghurt and then raspberries. Top with a sprinkle of biscuit crumb. Yum!
