Drunken Mary Berry Raspberry Parfait
This Mary Berry Raspberry Parfait recipe is a wonderful mini-sized treat that's light and simple! Without the liqueur, it's a great snack for kids after school!
Ingredients
- 225 g (8 ounces) raspberries
- 6 tbsp icing sugar
- 4 tbsp cassis liqueur
- 200 g (7 ounces) full-fat mascarpone cheese
- 150 ml (¼ pint) pouring double cream
- ½ juice of a lemon
Instructions
- Set aside 6 raspberries for garnish and place the remaining raspberries in a food processor. Add 3 tablespoons of the icing sugar and all the cassis. Blend until smooth, then strain through a sieve to remove the seeds.
- Measure the mascarpone cheese into a mixing bowl. Use an electric whisk to gently soften it, then add the double cream and the remaining icing sugar. Whisk again. Incorporate the lemon juice and half of the raspberry purée, folding them gently to maintain a smooth cream.
- Divide the mixture into 6 small glasses. Spoon the remaining raspberry coulis on top and garnish each serving with a fresh raspberry.
