Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Mix 200 ml liquid cream et 25 g Vanilla sugar, and whip as for whipped cream (Chantilly).

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Fold in gently with a maryse, to mix well while keeping the air bubbles in the cream, so that the texture will be light.

Remarks

Of course, you can make this dessert with any seasonal fresh fruit that you have available. It's particularly good in a blackcurrant or raspberry version.

This dessert can be kept for an hour or two once made, but should be covered with a plastic film and refrigerated.

For a rather more sophisticated version, you can add small pieces of shortbread or finger biscuits after the apricot coulis.
