FOR THE BERRY PUREE:
2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
8 ounces, weight Frozen Summer Berry Mix
1/4 cups Water, Or Less, As Needed
FOR THE CREAM MIXTURE:
2 cups Heavy Cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/3 cups Powdered Sugar
FOR THE BISCUIT LAYER:
1/2 cups Crushed Shortbread Biscuits
Extra Berries, For Garnish (optional)

1
For the berry puree:
2
Place powdered sugar and frozen berries into a food processor, blitz until smooth. The mixture will be thick and sorbet-like. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you have a thick yet runny enough mixture to spoon into pots easily. Set aside.
3
Place cream, vanilla and sifted powdered sugar into a medium-sized bowl and either whisk by hand or beat with a hand mixer until thick, creamy, and it holds its shape when you pull the beater out. Set aside.
4
Place 1 heaping tablespoon of fruit puree into the bottom of each dessert dish, then sprinkle some biscuit crumbs on top. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the cream mixture on top of the fruit mixture and smooth over slightly, being careful not to mix the layers together.
5
Repeat the fruit, biscuit, cream mixture until all of the mixture is divided between dessert bowls. (I made 3 bowls, with 4 layers of fruit puree and 3 layers of cream, but my bowls were quite large.) Try to make sure fruit puree is the last layer, then add a few more frozen berries to garnish and finish with another sprinkle of biscuits.
6
These will keep in the fridge, covered, for 2 days.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
