Shots anyone?

August 14, 2020

Shots anyone? . Well... dessert shots or shooters! Made these sorta makeshift mini trifles for a backyard Birthday gathering and they got a lot of love. Some very vocal love and some silent (busy gobbling, can’t talk type of). . I winged these based on the ingredients I had at home... but because they tasted real good, this is going to become a recipe to follow. . Layer 1: Cake - can be any fruit, plain or pound cake. Store bought or home baked. I went with home baked raspberry and orange cake. Recipe - in a later post. Layer 2: Couple of spoons of homemade mixed berry coulis and raspberry compote is what I used. If that sounds complicated, simply go with a couple of spoons of fruit jam and that should do the trick. The idea is to have the fruity syrup soak into the cake. Layer 3: Whip up ricotta cheese with couple spoons of honey, some orange zest, chopped mint leaves and stevia leaves (optional). Whip till smooth and spoon over cake and jam. Garnish: Top with orange zest, mint leaves and stevia leaves (optional). Refrigerate for a couple hours. Dig in. . Creamy, yet light and whipped goodness over fruit soaked moist cake... can’t go wrong with this plated expression. . Make it. Share it. Tag it #platedexpressions .
