This is a very, very simple and easy dish to make.
It’s called a fruit ripple, and it’s a great dish to use up all fruit lingering in
the fruit bowl that needs to be used up.
Basically, it’s a very simple easy dish that can be made in about 5 minutes.
Kids love it and adults likewise.
Great for making for a dinner party or just quickly whipped up for the children when they
come home from school.
It involves jaffa cakes, or any type of biscuits that you have.
I use a can of fruit – peaches.
You can mix them or you can blend them all together.
I normally blend this, or you can chop it up very, very finely.
Just use a glass dish, or you can use any container that you might want to use.
You puree the peaches, blitz them – or you can chop them up very finely – for about
five seconds, and when you puree them you can add any fruit that you have in your fruit
bowl.
You can put bananas in, in this mixture, or you can just leave it like this.
If you put bananas in, do put a little bit of lemon juice, otherwise the bananas will
turn quite brown.
Once you have that kind of consistency, you just break up one or two biscuits in your
glass jar or container, and just pour some fruit puree mixture.
You can add soft berries – it goes slightly mangy after one day.
They are absolutely delicious in this dish, you can just layer them, randomly, how you
like.
And kiwis are another one, which give it a bit of colour.
You can just use yoghurt, a Greek-style thick yoghurt to pour on top - but generally I find
the mixture of double cream and low-fat yoghurt mixed together with a bit of icing sugar gives
it that nice consistency, a thick consistency.
All we do is we whip up double cream, and some yoghurt, and a teaspoon of icing sugar
into that mixture.
So we just use a couple of tablespoons, or as much as you like, really, depending on
how many you wish to make.
The recipe sheets you can download from the internet on Love Food Surrey.
And we just blitz that.
It takes about a few seconds, give that a good whisk, and as you can see it’s already
thickening and we add a teaspoon of icing sugar.
Then we just pour a couple of tablespoons onto the dish.
You can make it in layers, if you wish.
We put some fruit puree on top, another layer, and another layer of fruit, and another layer
of strawberries.
And then, on top of that, a bit more of our mixture of the cream and yoghurt mix, and
a little bit of cocoa.
Add a few strawberries to sit on top, gives it a bit of colour, and we dust with cocoa
or grated chocolate.
There is your fantastic fruit ripple, made in less than five minutes.
