Servings 6 Portions
Ingredients
Base Layer:
- 200 g sponge fingers 150g meringue nests lightly crushed
Cream Ingredients:
- 600 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit Ingredients:
- 200 g blackberries fresh
- 250 g fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Topping:
- 154 g Oreo biscuits roughly broken
Instructions
Prepare the strawberries:
- Place the halved strawberries in a bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and gently toss. Set aside for 10–15 minutes. This step deepens the flavour and adds a slight tang.250 g fresh strawberries, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Whip the cream:
- Pour the double cream into a large bowl. Add the icing sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until soft peaks form. The cream should hold its shape but still look smooth.600 ml double cream, 2 tbsp icing sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Prepare the base:
- Break the sponge fingers into chunks, or lightly crush the meringues. Spread them evenly across the bottom of your serving dish. Do not press too firmly, as you want to keep some texture.200 g sponge fingers
Add the first cream layer:
- Spoon a generous layer of whipped cream over the base. Smooth it gently with the back of a spoon.
Add fruit and Oreos:
- Scatter a layer of blackberries over the cream. Then add some of the balsamic strawberries. Finally, sprinkle a portion of the broken Oreos on top.200 g blackberries, 154 g Oreo biscuits
Repeat the layers:
- Add another layer of base, followed by cream, fruit and Oreos. Continue until all ingredients are used. Finish with a decorative top layer of cream, fruit, and extra Oreo pieces.600 ml double cream, 200 g blackberries, 154 g Oreo biscuits, 250 g fresh strawberries
Chill before serving:
- Place the dessert in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This helps the flavours blend and the texture settle.
How to Serve:
- Serve chilled with a large spoon. Each portion should include all the layers. This dessert works well as a centrepiece or in individual glasses for a neater presentation.
Equipment
- Large glass serving bowl or trifle dish or individual glasses
- Electric whisk or hand whisk
Notes
Notes & Tips:
Use meringue for a lighter, crunchier texture, or sponge fingers for a softer base.
Do not over-whip the cream, as it can become grainy.
Add the Oreos just before serving if you prefer them extra crunchy.
Try raspberries instead of blackberries for a sharper flavour.
A drizzle of melted chocolate on top adds extra indulgence.
