Ingredients
‘Æblekage’ – Danish Apple Trifle
Alex’s note: My spin on a light and refreshing Danish dessert, that celebrates the humble apple.
[Serves 4]
- 1Kg Apples, chopped and peeled
- 60g Caster sugar
- 200g Amaretti biscuits, crushed
- 300ml Whipping cream
- 2Tsp Vanilla paste
- 50g Icing sugar, sifted
- Small handful of slivered almonds
- Dark chocolate for garnish (Gabriel Dark Ghana)
Method
- Peel and chop apples into 1x1cm pieces and add them to a pot with a dash of water, a squeeze of lemon and the caster sugar. Cook on medium and stew for 10-15minutes (or until apples are just fork tender)
- Let apple mix stand until cool
- Add icing sugar, vanilla and cream to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until soft peaks are starting to form. Continue whipping until you reach a well aerated, yet firm consistency
- Once apples have cooled down, drain away any excess liquid
- In small glasses, or one large trifle bowl, spoon in the apple mixture and form alternating layers of cream and crushed amaretti. Repeat until the glassware is full and you end up with a layer of cream on top (you should have roughly two layers of each)
- Leave refrigerated or sprinkle with almonds, grated chocolate and crushed amaretti before eating straight away!
