Toasted waffles with custard berry cream pots


This is a complete cheat's dessert. Pick up a few ingredients from the shop and you can whip this up in about five minutes. The only 'cooking' required is the toasting of the waffles in the toaster. The rest is just 'placement' of the ingredients. But, it still looks very pretty and of course, tastes good.

You could easily make the custard berry cream pots a few hours before and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve. I think this would be a great dessert for a dinner party - it is visually stunning, but doesn't take too much effort. The perfect recipe for when you want to sit with your guests not be in the kitchen all evening.

What you'll need

Serves four

200g carton prepared vanilla custard
200g mascarpone cream
200g mixed berries (I used fresh blueberries, and a prepared red berry mix from the supermarket)
8 fresh waffles

What to do

Place the waffles into your toaster on a medium setting and toast for a few minutes until crisp. But watch closely, as they will burn easily due to the sugar content.

You'll need four, small individual serving bowls.

Evenly spoon the custard into the bottom of each of the bowls/glasses. Top with the berries, then place a good dollop of cream on top. Cut the waffles into fingers (2 waffles per person) and serve with the custard pots, while the waffles are still warm. 

Quick, easy and yummy. Enjoy in moderation.
