Janie BS: A Fancy Dessert Recipe (18) RE: BS: A Fancy Dessert Recipe 11 Aug 15


Not for the sugar, fat or cholesterol challenged.

Use strawberries, blueberries, black or raspberries, or peaches. Any summer berry or sweet juicy fruit will be fine. If using peaches, peel and cut into small pieces and toss with a little lemon juice. If using strawberries, cut into halves or quarters. You may add a little sweetener, toss in a bowl and let the fruit stand for an hour or so in the fridge in order for some juice to to leach out and accumulate, but that is optional.

Make a rolled biscuit recipe, using butter for the fat and cream or half-and-half for the milk. Add a tablespoon of sugar and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch to 3 inch biscuit cutter and bake according to your recipe.

Allow biscuits to cool to room temperature. Slice or tear in half.

While the biscuits are cooling make your own whipped cream, using heavy or whipping cream. Make sure all ingredients are chilled and also the metal bowl and beaters. Go light on sweetening the cream. Let the fruit be the main sweetener.

Spoon a generous portion of the fruit onto the bottom half of the biscuit and drizzle a little juice on. Add a dollop of the whipped cream, add the top of the biscuit, a little more of the fruit on top of that, a dap of the whipped cream and a drizzle of the juice from the fruit.

Prepare to die a happy death from the sheer indulgent richness of summer, right in this moment of lovely excess.
