Mirabelle Dessert Cups

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 250 g mascarpone

• 150 g heavy cream

• 60 g icing sugar

• 2 sachets vanilla sugar

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 1/2 tbsp butter

• 50 g madeleines or any sponge cake (crushed)

• 450 g mirabelle

Directions

💗Cook the mirabelle

1. Cut the mirabelle plums in half and remove the seeds. Once all the fruit is halved, add them to a saucepan together with the vanilla sugar and butter. Add the lemon juice when the butter melts and the fruit starts cooking.

2. Cook everything until the fruit start to soften and caramelise, and a thick sauce starts to form. This will only take a couple of minutes. Take off the heat and let cool completely.

💗Mascarpone cream

1. While the mirabelle plums are cooling. Place the heavy cream and icing sugar into a bowl. With an electric whisk or in a stand mixer whip the mixture to stiff peaks. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese. Store in the fridge until ready to assemble the dessert cups.

💗Assembly

1. Start by adding a layer of mirabelle plums with their sauce at the bottom of each cup.

2. Crumble the madeleines into small pieces and make an even layer in each cup. Top this layer with a generous layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat until the cup is full and end up having a layer of cream at the top. Decorate with some crumbled madeleines, mirabelle plums and a drizzle of the sauce.

3. Place the cups in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!
