    Verrine

    I don’t normally do desserts, but my faithful and talented assistant invents things like this in two minutes.

    – Whip some sugar, thick cream and fromage blanc together. The fromage blanc (or fromage frais) makes the whole thing much lighter.
    – Cook some raspberries, a chopped pear and blueberries together with a little sugar for 5 minutes.
    – Crush some biscuits in a plastic bag, use a rolling pin. The very best biscuits for this are Speculos, cinnamon biscuits from Belgium, but ginger nuts or any spicy biscuits will do.
    – In individual verrines or glasses assemble layers of crushed biscuits, the stewed fruit and the cream mixture.
    – Decorate with fresh fruit and anything else you can lay your hands on (see photo with “chocolate cigars”).
