Ingredients
- 300 g Fresh raspberries
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Whipping cream
- 200 g Cream cheese (softened)
- 70 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 150 g Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed
- 75 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 10 leaves Mint leaves (for garnish)
- 50 g White chocolate (for garnishing, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the base of individual serving glasses or a large serving dish to form the crust. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine half of the fresh raspberries (150g) with the granulated sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and form a sauce. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and airy filling.
Step 5
To assemble, layer the dessert as follows: Start with a spoonful of the crushed biscuit base, followed by a layer of the cream cheese filling, a drizzle of the raspberry sauce, and a few fresh raspberries on top. Repeat the layers until the serving glasses are full, finishing with fresh raspberries on top.
Step 6
For garnish, top each serving with a mint leaf and optionally sprinkle with grated white chocolate for a festive touch.
Step 7
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve cold and enjoy the festive flavors of this Raspberry Christmas Dessert!
