Raspberry Charlotte



Try out this delicious dessert made from sponge fingers, raspberries and fromage frais. It melts in the mouth and because you don't have to cook it, it's easy food at its best. You prepare it in advance too, which is really great!

Ingredients

300g raspberries (frozen will do the job)
15cl orange juice and a dash of Cointreau/Grand Marnier
30 sponge finger biscuits/Madeira cake sliced into fingers
400g fromage frais
80g caster sugar
2 sachets vanilla sugar - about 14g (optional)




Directions

1. Line the base and sides of a charlotte tin or pudding bowl with biscuits that you have dipped in the orange juice and alcohol mixture.
2. Whisk the fromage frais with the sugars.
3. Place half the fruit in the tin or bowl and cover with half of the sweetened fromage frais.
4. Dip a few more biscuits in the orange juice and place on top of the fromage frais layer. Add a layer of fruit, a layer of fromage frais and finish with some more (dipped) biscuits.
5. Cover the tin. Place in the fridge and leave overnight. The next day, turn over onto a plate....and indulge yourself!
Bon appétit!
