  • Total Time: 25m

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons plain flour
  • 3 tablespoons raw sugar
  • 3 tablespoons almond meal
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter
  • 2 cups lime or lemon curd (store bought or see my Lemon Curd recipe in Baking )
  • 300 milliliters double cream
  • 250 grams mascarpone
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1 punnet fresh raspberries
  • mint leaves or edible flowers to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsuis.
  2. Combine flour, sugar and almond meal in a bowl.
  3. Place those ingredients in a food processor and add the cold butter, processing in short bursts, till it forms a crumble like mix. You can also use your fingers for this part - just rub the butter in to the dry ingredients till sand like crumbs form.
  4. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and put in the oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. You may need to keep an eye on it and give it a stir once in a while.
  5. Combine cream, mascarpone and vanilla in a bowl and give a good stir.
  6. Layer the curd, cream, crumble and raspberries into glasses.
  7. Garnish with mint leaves or edible flowers to serve.
