Bourbon Fruit Layer Dessert

7 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 large oranges
  • 8 ounces fresh strawberries (about 10 strawberries)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons Bourbon
  • 2 ounces chocolate, chilled (milk or dark)
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • strawberry, to decorate (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel each orange and finely dice the flesh, discarding the tough core and any seeds (I find it easiest to quarter each orange, then peel).
  2. 2
    Hull and dice the strawberries.
  3. 3
    Put both fruits in a bowl and add the bourbon. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the sugar and stir. Leave to soak for about 30 minutes in the fridge. Gently stir as frequently as you can- every 5 minutes if possible- to evenly blend the flavours.
  4. 4
    Finely grate the chocolate until you have the required 4 tablespoons grated (chilling it beforehand stops it from melting in your hands as you grate it) .
  5. 5
    When the fruit has finished soaking, whip the cream until it starts to stiffen.
  6. 6
    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar to the cream.
  7. 7
    Drain the fruit through a sieve, pouring the juices and bourbon into the whipped cream. Stir gently to mix.
  8. 8
    In four glasses, put a layer of fruit, then cream, then chocolate flakes. Repeat the layers of fruit, cream and chocolate, finishing with the chocolate. If desired, top with a fanned strawberry.
