Cherry jam crepe stack

Light and fluffy crepes are layered with a rich cream and sweet cherry jam to create this delicious dessert. Cut yourself a slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee for morning tea.

Ingredients

300 millilitre thickened cream

1 tablespoon icing sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

250 gram tub smooth ricotta

8 bought crepes

284 gram jar black cherry jam

125 gram frozen pitted cherries, thawed

Method

1.Using an electric mixer, beat cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl until firm peaks form. Fold in ricotta.

2.Place 1 crepe on a serving plate. Spread with 1 tablespoon of the jam, then top with 1⁄3 cup of the cream mixture. Repeat layering with remaining crepes, jam and cream mixture, ending with a crepe.

3.Spread top of crêpe with remaining cream mixture. Top with cherries. Serve.

Make ahead: assemble the stack, without the cherries, up to 3 hours ahead. Cover, then refrigerate. Top with cherries just before serving. To prevent cherries bleeding into cream mixture, thaw on paper towels to absorb mixture. Buy crepes from the bakery isle of your supermarket, either fresh or frozen.
