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)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Slice the strawberries into quarters and leave the blueberries and raspberries whole.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the fresh berries with the lemon juice and honey. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly. Set aside.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for a cooler dessert.
