Raspberry Verrine with Coconut-Lemon Crumble

For this verrine, we balance zesty flavors with subtle sweetness for a refreshing finish.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• Fresh raspberries
• Organic coconut and lime kiss cookies
• 125g mascarpone
• 30g sugar
• 1 egg

Start by separating the egg yolk from the white. In a bowl, whisk the yolk with sugar until pale and creamy. Fold in mascarpone for a smooth mixture. Whip the egg white to stiff peaks, then gently incorporate into the mascarpone cream.

Assemble freely: Puree some raspberries for a coulis base, layer with mascarpone cream. Crumble cookies for texture, add whole raspberries. Repeat layers, topping with crumble and a fresh raspberry.

A visual and flavor delight that's always a hit!
