METHOD

1. Combine berries and 1/4 cup of icing sugar in a saucepan over low heat; stir for 5 minutes or until berries are soft. Drain berries and reserve the liquid.

2.In a bowl using an electric mixer beat cream cheese and extra icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold through extra juice.

3. Place cooled syrup in a shallow dish . Dip biscuits into syrup mixture. Arrange in 4 x 1 cup serving glasses .

You can also substitute the sponge fingers for other biscuits or even plain cake. I do prefer the fingers

A very nice festive dessert, I wonder how using, Cointreau Orange Liqueur, would add to overall flavour!!

I'm going to add recipes tonight at what I've cooked today including homemade Greek pitta bread. Went to the shop to buy some to go with my homemade chicken Souvlaki which I have had marinating all day , and there were none , so I've made them
Stay tuned 😉
