Makes 4 servings depending on the glass
Ingredients
- About 6/7 fresh plums
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tub of Mascarpone cheese – room temp
- 1 cup or 250 mls whipping cream – must be cold
- ±8 finger biscuits
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur – optional
Method
- Make the plum syrup by adding the 1 cup sugar & 1 cup water to a pot. Then chop up 4 plums and add them to this mixture. Cook on a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved & the plums are a bit soft. Then add this to a blender and blend until smooth. Cool in the fridge.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Then add the cooled plum syrup and mascarpone before mixing gently using a spatula until nice & smooth.
- Take the finger biscuits & cut them in half, then cut those halves in half again, so you have mini finger biscuits 🙂
- In a small pot add the 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water, boil on a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat and add the amaretto. Let it cool slightly.
- Lightly dip each mini finger biscuit into this syrup. Set aside.
- In individual glasses or bowls add a dollop of the cream/plum mixture. Then add a layer of dipped biscuits & a few chopped up fresh plum pieces. Repeat this process twice.
- Add some fresh plum slices to the top and serve
