This dessert was inspired by English trifle, but we riffed on the classic to make it easier, quicker and a bit more chic. Add a splash of sherry to the berries for an extra flavour hit.
2 170-g containers raspberries
2 125-g containers blueberries
2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup 35% cream
1/2 350-g pkg ginger wafers, about 26 wafers
Mash three-quarters of berries in a large bowl with a potato masher. Stir in ginger and 2 tbsp maple syrup. Set aside.
Beat cream with remaining maple syrup until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted, about 2 min.
Crumble wafers well over bottom of a small trifle bowl. Cover with whipped cream. Spoon berry-ginger mixture overtop. Sprinkle with remaining whole berries. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours.
