Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Base

To create the base of your dessert boxes, start by crushing the sweet biscuits to a fine crumb. Combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter and mix thoroughly. Press this mixture firmly into the base of your box molds. Ensure that it's compact to hold the other layers well.

Step 2

Make the Fillings

For each dessert flavor, prepare the corresponding creams and puddings first. For the Banoffee box, mix the caramel pudding with sliced bananas. For the Tropical box, blend the mango cream with coconut pudding and layer with almond crunch on top. Finally, the Summer box can be prepared with basil cream and layered with the strawberry-lime compote.

Step 3

Layer the Boxes

Once you have your creams and puddings ready, it’s time to layer them into the boxes. Start by adding a layer of the chosen pudding, ensuring a smooth and even layer. Follow with the cream mixture and repeat as desired. Each layer should be spread gently to avoid disturbing the previous layer.

Step 4

Chill and Set

Cover the assembled dessert boxes with a lid or plastic wrap. Place them in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until set. These boxes can be stored in the freezer for up to one month, making them perfect for last-minute treats.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once ready to serve, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw slightly in the refrigerator. Drizzle some gourmet chocolate glaze over the Banoffee box before serving. Enjoy these delightful flavors and textures with friends and family!
