What Started it all:
Fruit Curd, Cookies, American Cheese, Blue Raspberry, Lemon Juice, Cheese Sauce,
This delightful Japanese-inspired dessert combines the tanginess of fruit curd with the sweetness of cookies and the unique twist of American cheese. It's a fun and creative way to enjoy different flavors while learning to cook!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Fruit Curd (your choice of flavor)
- 2 cookies (Japanese-style, like matcha or mochi cookies)
- 1 slice American Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Blue Raspberry puree (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Cheese Sauce (preferably a light, creamy version)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Start by crumbling the cookies into a small bowl to create a base. Press them down gently to form a compact layer.
- Layer the Cheese: Place the slice of American cheese on top of the cookie layer. You can cut it into smaller pieces if needed for better coverage.
- Add Fruit Curd: Spoon the fruit curd evenly over the cheese layer, allowing it to seep into the crumbled cookies for added flavor.
- Create a Blue Raspberry Drizzle: In a small bowl, mix the blue raspberry puree with lemon juice. Drizzle this mixture over the fruit curd for a burst of color and zest.
- Top with Cheese Sauce: Finish by drizzling the cheese sauce lightly over the top, creating an interesting contrast with the sweet and tart layers below.
- Chill and Serve: Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to set slightly before enjoying. This will enhance the flavors and textures.
