Ingredients
- ½ cup strawberries (organic)
- ½ cup blueberries (organic,fresh)
- 2 wedges lemon (fresh)
- 1 tsp sugar (divided)
- 4 ladyfinger biscuits (crushed, can also use vanilla wafers or plain cake)
- ½ cup whipping cream (fresh, whipped until stiff)
- 1 Tbsp grand marnier liqueur (optional)
Instructions
- Wash blueberries and strawberries. Place blueberries in a bowl and squeeze some fresh lemon juice over then, then sprinkle a little sugar and toss. Chop strawberries into small pieces and repeat with the lemon juice, sugar and then toss. Set aside for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place a thin layer of crushed biscuits (or crumbled cake) in the bottom of the ramekins or dishes, and sprinkle with Grand Marnier or a light juice.
- When the strawberries have macerated for a while, place a layer of strawberries on top of the biscuit layer, making sure to put strawberries right next to the side of the ramekin (the goal is to see a red, white and blue layer.)
- Lastly, spoon some blueberries on top and make sure each space is covered…very easy!
- Place a dollop of cream in the center and voila, it’s finished! Keep refrigerated for a minimum of an hour for best flavor, up to about 8 hours.

Notes
- Special Equipment: glass ramekins or dessert bowls (if you do not have any sort of clear bowls, you can use opaque ones, but when doing the top fruit layer, use both fruits, so both colors are visible.)
- Omit the sugar if you don't mind less juice and want to cut the sugar content.
- Use gluten-free products as needed.
