We are at Day 7 of this special Christmas series.. and today I wanted to give you a quick & easy recipe that ANYONE can whip up in minutes!! What I love most about these is that they're perfect for those times when you have 20 different things to prepare f...

ServesMakes 10 basketsPrep10 minutesCookNo cookTotal10 minutes

ingredients

10 pre-made brandy snap baskets
300ml thickened cream
Vanilla ice-cream (as much or as little as you like!)
1 tablespoon icing sugar
1 cup frozen OOB organic mixed berries
1 cup frozen OOB organic raspberries
1 cup frozen OOB organic blueberries

Optional Extra

1 tablespoon brandy (to add into the cream or ice-cream for an extra Christmassy-flavour!)
2 candy canes, crushed (for a little minty Christmas crunch!)

method

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the thickened cream until light and fluffy. Just before soft peaks form, throw in the icing sugar (and a little brandy if you like!) and mix through. Place bowl in the fridge until you're almost ready to serve.
Add the frozen berries into a bowl and allow them to defrost naturally. Do not add any water to the bowl as this will make them soggy!
Lay out your brandy baskets on a serving plate. You can either fill with ice-cream and layer the cream on-top of them, or you can fill half of the baskets with ice-cream and the other half of the baskets with the cream - whatever you like! Once filled, top with berries and bits of crushed brandy baskets if you'd like an extra brandy crunch! For a little extra minty Christmas treat, sprinkle over some crushed candy canes!
