Bourbon Fruit Layer Dessert

Ingredients:

• 3 large oranges
• 8 ounces fresh strawberries about 10 strawberries
• 2 1/2 tablespoons Bourbon
• 2 ounces chocolate chilled milk or dark
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• strawberry to decorate

Steps:

• Peel each orange and finely dice the flesh discarding the tough core and any seeds I find it easiest to quarter each orange then peel
• Hull and dice the strawberries
• Put both fruits in a bowl and add the bourbon Add 1/2 tablespoon of the sugar and stir Leave to soak for about 30 minutes in the fridge Gently stir as frequently as you can- every 5 minutes if possible- to evenly blend the flavours
• Finely grate the chocolate until you have the required 4 tablespoons grated chilling it beforehand stops it from melting in your hands as you grate it
• When the fruit has finished soaking whip the cream until it starts to stiffen
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar to the cream
• Drain the fruit through a sieve pouring the juices and bourbon into the whipped cream Stir gently to mix
• In four glasses put a layer of fruit then cream then chocolate flakes Repeat the layers of fruit cream and chocolate finishing with the chocolate If desired top with a fanned strawberry
