Winter Fruit or Berry Compote Dessert
In a serving dish place
- Wafer cookies such as Nilla Wafers or Maria’s Gamesas
- Prepared fruit in light syrup or thawed berries
- Whipped cream (optional)
Mini Nilla wafers fit neatly into a small dessert dish. Crumbled Gamesas are an easy way to make a first layer.
Refrigerated, prepared fruit medleys, canned fruit cocktail or apricots, or thawed raspberries, cherries, or blueberries in a little orange or lemon juice are off-the-shelf pantry and freezer staples in easy reach during winter months when travel is difficult and fresh fruit and berries may not be available.
Vanilla yogurt is a good alternative to whipped cream. Whipped cream in a can is an easy way to top this winter desert.
