Black forest cookie salad

Delight an unexpected crowd with this super-simple black forest cookie salad. Made from pantry staples like choc biscuits and canned fruit, it can be thrown together in minutes.

Ingredient

  • 670g jar morello cherries
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cointreau
  • 250g mascarpone
  • 1 cup thickened cream
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar mixture
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 x 156g Cadbury double choc cookies
  • Dark chocolate curls, to serve
Direction
  1. Drain the cherries and reserve 1 cup of the liquid in a small saucepan. Add the caster sugar and stir to combine. Place over low heat and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens to a syrup. Stir in the Cointreau. Set aside to cool.
  2. Meanwhile, use electric beaters to beat the mascarpone, cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl until soft peaks form.
  3. Break the biscuits in half and arrange on a serving platter or in a bowl. Dollop the cream mixture over the top and scatter with cherries. Drizzle with the syrup and sprinkle with chocolate curls.
