Try these inspiring simple trifles. The addition of some melted white chocolate just gilds the lily.

Ingredients (12)

  • 20g unsalted butter, melted
  • 150g ginger biscuits (we used ginger shortbread), crushed in a processor
  • 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 3 limes, plus 1 thinly sliced lime to garnish
  • 100ml white rum
  • 1 cup mint leaves, plus extra to garnish
  • 120g white chocolate, chopped
  • 400g soft cream cheese
  • 1 cup (250g) mascarpone cheese
  • 300ml thickened cream, whipped
  • Slivered unsalted pistachios, to garnish
  • Borage flowers (optional), to decorate

Method

  • 1.
    Stir melted butter into the biscuit crumbs until well combined. Press mixture into the base of 6 serving glasses (use a cocktail muddling stick or the end of a rolling pin to pack down well). Chill in the fridge.
  • 2.
    Bring sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) water to the boil in a pan, stirring to dissolve sugar, then simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until syrupy. Add lime zest, juice, rum and mint. Remove from heat. Set aside for 20 minutes to infuse.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Stir gently until melted, then leave to cool.
  • 4.
    Clean processor, then add cheeses and whiz to combine. Strain syrup through a sieve, pressing down to extract as much flavour as possible. Add syrup to processor and whiz to combine. Add chocolate and pulse 2-3 times until combined. Spoon into glasses. Chill for 1 hour to set.
  • 5.
    When ready to serve, top each glass with some whipped cream. Garnish with lime slices, slivered pistachios and extra mint, then decorate with flowers if desired.
