Description
A no-bake layered dessert featuring creamy mascarpone and cream cheese filling, blueberry syrup, and soft Maria biscuits—topped with white chocolate ganache for an elegant, fruity treat.
Ingredients
250 g blueberries
90 g granulated sugar
200 g cream cheese, softened
250 g mascarpone
24 g whipped cream stabilizer (e.g., Klopfix)
50 g powdered sugar
8 g vanilla sugar (or ½ tsp vanilla extract)
500 ml heavy cream (plus 50 ml for ganache)
75 g reserved blueberry syrup
Maria biscuits
Milk (for dipping biscuits)
100 g white chocolate
Fresh blueberries (for garnish)
Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Simmer blueberries and sugar over medium heat 7–10 minutes until boiling. Strain and reserve syrup.
- Beat cream cheese, mascarpone, stabilizer, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar until smooth. Gradually add 500 ml heavy cream and whip until firm.
- Reserve ⅓ of cream and fold in 75 g blueberry syrup to make blueberry cream.
- Dip Maria biscuits briefly in milk and layer on a serving plate. Spread blueberry cream on top. Add another biscuit layer, then half of white cream and drizzle blueberry syrup. Repeat with biscuits and remaining white cream.
- Chill cake for several hours or overnight to set.
- For ganache: Heat 50 ml heavy cream, pour over white chocolate, let sit 1 minute, then stir smooth. Cool slightly.
- Spread ganache over chilled cake, drizzle with blueberry syrup, and swirl decoratively.
- Chill further, then garnish with blueberries and mint before serving.
Notes
- Use ladyfingers or graham cookies instead of Maria biscuits.
- Replace vanilla sugar with vanilla extract if preferred.
- Try different fruit syrups like raspberry or mixed berries.
- Swap white chocolate ganache for dark or milk chocolate.
- For added flavor, include lemon curd or caramel layers.
