Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Strawberries
- 150 g Blueberries
- 150 g Raspberries
- 250 g Mascarpone cheese
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 8 pieces Graham crackers
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Slice the strawberries into quarters and leave the blueberries and raspberries whole.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the fresh berries with the lemon juice and honey. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly. Set aside.
Place the graham crackers in a food processor and blitz into fine crumbs, or crush them manually in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop. Add the melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Toast the crumb mixture in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly.
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the dessert: start with a layer of graham cracker crumble, then a layer of mascarpone cream, followed by the berry mixture. Repeat the layers as desired, finishing with a layer of berries on top.
Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for a cooler dessert.
