If you don’t like Christmas pudding and want a
more modern, fresh dessert, try this. It will feed four. Increase the
quantities proportionally if you have more people. Do taste both the juice and
the cream and sugar mixture before using and, if it is quite sharp, do add a
little more sugar or honey
1 packet boudoir (finger) biscuits –
Juice of 4 oranges – 50ml orange, Amarula or Limoncello liqueur - 2 fresh ripe
mangos, peeled and sliced – 1 tub of mascarpone cheese – 200ml cream – 150g
sugar, vanilla if possible or add 1 t of vanilla extract – juice and pulp of 4
granadillas (passion fruit)
Mix the orange juice with the liqueur and dip the
finger biscuits into it. Make one layer in the bottom of a pretty dessert dish.
Mix the mascarpone with the cream and the vanilla sugar and spread a layer over
the biscuits, then follow with a layer of mango slices and some of the
granadilla pulp. Make another layer and finish by pouring over the rest of the
juice and topping off with the rest of the granadilla pulp. Cover with cling
film and keep in the fridge overnight until you are ready to serve
