Instructions
Step 1
In a blender, combine sour cream, cottage cheese, and vanilla powdered sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will create a rich and less sweet cream that perfectly balances the dessert’s flavors.
Step 2
For the layered effect, you will need candied fruit and raisins. If you wish to avoid alcohol, soak them in orange juice or bergamot tea for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave. After soaking, let them cool before using.
Crush the honey cake or cookies into fine crumbs. This will add a delightful crunch to your dessert.
Step 3
In serving glasses, layer the ingredients starting with a layer of cream, followed by cookie crumbs, and then a layer of the soaked fruit mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ensuring a beautiful presentation.
Step 4
Once assembled, cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours, but for the best flavor, let them chill overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Served chilled, this dessert is guaranteed to impress your guests. Enjoy your delicious creation!
