Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Cream cheese
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 60 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 300 g Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 150 g Plain biscuits or shortbread cookies (crushed)
- 70 g Butter (melted)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Set aside.
Prepare the berry compote by adding the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring, until the berries break down and form a thick sauce. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
In another bowl, combine the crushed biscuits or shortbread cookies with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Assemble the Ice Palace dessert by layering the ingredients into clear glasses or dessert bowls. Start with a layer of the cookie mixture, followed by a layer of the cream cheese mousse, and a spoonful of berry compote. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, ending with a berry layer on top.
Chill the assembled desserts in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set and allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a sprig of mint.
