Summer Berry Dessert
We hosted a celebration dinner for a good friend who recently graduated from our local university. The meal was very rich with many courses, and we knew a heavy dessert was out of the question. So, I tried a layered berry dessert in wine glasses and it was just right.
First I put some beautiful strawberries (cut and lightly sugared) and raspberries in the bottom.
Then I mixed vanilla Greek yogurt and cream cheese with a splash of vanilla and coconut rum. I added a generous dollop on top of the berries.
I made a sour cream pound cake and cut it into cubes, then layered the cake on top of the cream mixture. Store bought sponge or angel food cake would be great also.
I repeated the layers - berries, cream, cake, and finished with berries on the top. I added a dollop of whipped cream before I set these on the table.
Next time I want to add some mango or other fresh fruit in season.
Try this one for a special dinner this summer!
