Yogurt Berry Surprise

It's not a lot of fun living surrounded by boxes, and furniture piled up all over the place, the new vacuum is working overtime trying to cope with all the mess we're creating by moving furniture, taking down shelves and packing... I'm desperate to get out of here and into the new house.

OH the sheer bliss of not having to live at, (well maybe I shouldn't mention the name here) anymore, I'm so excited at the thought of peaceful, silent nights, no more road sweepers waking me in the early hours, or the damn bus stopping below the apartment playing the automated safety message at full volume.  The thought of having clean air to breathe,  and no more struggling to carry bags of heavy groceries up 2 flights of stairs, or having to park 10 minutes from where you live, to have a bathroom that doesn't fill up with cigarette smoke from the apartment below, something we have nagged and nagged them to fix for us, without success, many promises to do so, but no results...  Moving time really can not come fast enough for us.  The time is really dragging...

Living here is quite depressing us all, so in an attempt to cheer everyone up I decided to make one of my really decadent, Heavenly deserts, and because I'm feeling generous I'm going to share my secret preciously guarded recipe with you.


Daisy's Yogurt Berry Surprise

Mascarpone Cheese 4oz
Raspberry Jam 1 tbsp
Dark Brown Sugar 1 tbsp
Amaretto Liqueur 2oz
Natural Yogurt 8oz
Heavy Whipping Cream 8 oz
Selection of Berries, (anything in season) 1 1/2  cups

Clean the berries, if using strawberries, slice in half, place in the bottom of a glass flan dish and pour the Amaretto over, stirring gently to coat all the berries.  
In a small bowl gently stir the mascarpone cheese with the raspberry jam to mix, and spoon over the berries.
In a medium bowl beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then gently stir in the natural yogurt mixing well.
Spread the cream mixture over the mascarpone cheese & berries, and sprinkle liberally with the dark brown sugar.  
Garnish with berries.
Place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.

Enjoy :o)
