Do you guys make anything special on Fridays for the weekend" I don’t enjoy spending too much time in the kitchen on the weekend unless I’m hosting a get-together or entertaining. When Rugby season kicks in during the cold months, most of our Saturdays are spent driving the boys and watching them play at a different location versing a different club. Being constantly on your toes can get really tiring! So on Friday, I make my treats and put them in the fridge to enjoy on the weekend. Trifles, mousse and cheesecakes are perfect for this.

Tiramisu is one of my favourite desserts. The pairing of coffee and mascarpone cheese is like a flavour bomb. But that does not mean that mascarpone is not great in other sweet recipes. Berries and Mascarpone are fantastic together as well. This trifle like dessert with layers of sponge fingers that have been dipped in lemon syrup, blueberry compote and whipped mascarpone is perfect for a delicious, make ahead treat without actually being perfect. As in,  get messy! No need to use piping bags or make neat layers. It looks great anyway and taste even better.
Have a wonderful weekend all of you!
