"Biscuit cake in a jar"

This is another one of my recipes.
I GUARANTEE it will knock your socks off!!

Servings: 2-4

Ingredients

  • 2 dl double cream
  • 5 pcs. meringue cookies
  • 2,5 dl vanilla (pastry) cream
  • 1 packet tea biscuits
  • 1 orange (peeled, cut into smaller pieces)
  • juice of 1 orange






Method:

  1. Whip up the cream until light and soft (DO NOT OVER WHISK!) 

  2. Break down the meringue cookies using your fingers and mix with whipped cream.

     
  3. Assemble: Take a jar and spoon in some meringue-cream mixture on the bottom.
  4. Cover with orange peaces.
  5. Soak 2 cookies at a time in the orange juice and put them on top of meringue-cream and orange pieces.

  6. Cover with vanilla cream and make a layer approx. 0,5 cm thick.

  7. Repeat steps 3-5 until you reach the top of the jar. The last layer should be meringue-cream.


  8. Decorate with some crushed biscuits and serve immediately!


Review: This is one of my favorite recipes I've made so far. It has the crunch of the meringue biscuits, the softness of the whipped cream, smoothness of the pastry cream and the slight tartness of the orange - a complete package of texture and flavors!

Tip:  1) I made this biscuit cake in a cup seized jar. Feel free to serve this in nice deep glaces, that way it will make 4 servings instead of 2.
2) You can find a recipe for pastry creme here and for meringue cookies here (just omit the cocoa powder, bake at 100°C (200°F) for 1h 30- 1h 45min. and leave in a turned off oven, door open, to dry for couple of hours).
