Pour a layer of blackcurrant coulis, thickened by chilling.
Stage 9 - ⌛ 4 min.
Finish with a layer of granola.
Stage 10
Put back in the fridge if not serving immediately.
Remarks
You can swap the layers of blackcurrant and crème, but it's better to leave the granola on top.
You can adapt this recipe by replacing the blackcurrant coulis with another fruit, if possible a slightly tart one, such as raspberry, strawberry, apricot, etc.

Almond tuiles
These delicious little biscuits ("tiles" in French) get their crunch and lightness from the use of flaked almonds rather than ground. It is not difficult to succeed, you just need to work fast after taking them out of the oven. August 21th 2019403 K4 1 hour 20 min.
Dandelion flower jelly
With dandelion flowers and a hint of lemon, here's how to make a delicate and surprising jelly, which in franche-comté (eastern France) is called "cramaillote", or sometimes "dandelion honey". April 27th 202523 K 1 1 hour 50 min.
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

European glass
A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me). August 15th 2010247 K5 2 hours 30 min.
