Cold Desserts Recipes - Creamy Fruit Baskets Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 oranges

  • 500g/18oz Mascarpone cheese

  • 5 tablespoons crème fraiche

  • 2 tablespoons clear honey (warmed)

  • 6 half-coated chocolate waffle or brandy snap baskets

  • 100g/4oz strawberries

Serves 6

Method:

  1. Finely grate and reserve 1 tablespoon of orange zest. Then peel all the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible, and divide into segments.

  2. Place the Mascarpone cheese in a bowl with the orange zest and beat until smooth. Add half of the crème fraiche with the honey to taste and stir, adding more of the crème fraiche to give a fairly stiff dropping consistency. Cover and refrigerate.

  3. After at least half an hour, fill the baskets with the mixture and top with the orange segments and sliced strawberries. Decorate with orange zest.
