Creamy Strawberry and Apple Drizzle

A simple yet delicious dessert that is guaranteed to liven up any dinner party, thats what this Creamy Strawberry and Apple Drizzle can do!!

I suggest that one may involve kids during the prep as they may enjoy decorating this dessert using the squirty cream from the freeze can.

Ingredients:
8 - 10 Small slices of Vanilla Sponge cake
1/2 Cup of Apple Dessert Sauce (Easily available in Supermarkets)
1/2 cup of Strawberry Dessert Sauce (Easily available in Supermarkets)
1 Cup of Mascarpone (Italian full fat dessert cheese)
Bottle of Squirty Cream or Whipped Cream

Method:
1. Take a bowl, add mascarpone and 1/4 Cup of Strawberry sauce. Whisk the sauce and mascarpone thoroughly and keep aside.
2. Heat the pan and place slices of vanilla sponge cake on it and let it dry roast for 1 minute, or till it turns a bit crispy and amd light brown in colour. Make sure that you dont dry roast the cake for too long.
3. Take a glass or a wine glass, place roasted cake in the glass. Add a dollop of apple dessert sauce and then follow up with a dollop of the mascarpone and strawberry sauce mix over the apple sauce.
4. This way depending upon the size of your glass, one can make one more layer of cake, mascarpone mixture and apple sauce.
5. Decorate it with Squirty Cream or Whipped Cream and drizzle the strawberry and apple sauce on the sides of the glass and on top of the cream. This will make your guests go licking your dessert.

Keep your Creamy Strawberry and Apple Drizzle in the refrigerator and serve when your guests are through with their main dish.

Verry Berry Surprise

Well, as per my understanding of history, Christopher Colombus was actually trying to find another way to reach India - Land of Spice. But in that exploration he landed up discovering the world strongest country America. His biggest mistake, turned out to be a marvellous discovery. Now, the Colombus within me wanted to cook Strawberry Cream, an exotic dessert served at Wimbledon. I was amongst the fortunate ones to watch the current wimbledon match, with few of my friends who had paid visit to Land of Queen, Great Britain. My dear hubby being busy in the office, couldn't make it for the match. So, I thought of cheering him up by making strawberry cream at home for our Sunday Night Project. But when I went to the nearby supermarket to pick up fresh strawberries, they were all off from the shelves. Poor me :(, quick came the idea to pick up summer berries (rasberries and blue berries) instead. So here it is....presenting my ''Verry Berry Surprise''


Ingredients:
100g Rasberries
100g Blue Berries
50g of Creamy Custard
50g of Mascarpone (Cheese used specially for desserts)
3 Tablespoon of Strawberry Jam
4 Trifle Sponges / Any soft sponge cake
1 Tablespoon of Ginger biscuit Crumbs
1 Tablespoon of Sugar

Method:
1. Take rasberries and blueberries, keeping few of them aside. Add sugar and blend both the berries together and make a smooth puree.
2. Mix Custard and Mascarpone together. Mascarpone is a cheese specially used for desserts to soften the cream or custard.
3. Now take a serving glass, add berry puree. Now make layer of custard and mascarpone mixture. On top of custard add few pieces of berries kept aside and Jam. Make one more such layer.
4. Decorate with remaining pieces of Berries and ginger biscuit crumbs and a dollop of Jam.
Your tongue is waiting to lick Verry Berry Surprise :)
