I don’t know about you, but sometimes Sunday dessert outshines Sunday dinner by a long shot! Yesterday was just one such Sunday.
I was leafing through some old issues of a recipe magazine and I came across a recipe for this Vanilla Berry Charlotte and knew I was going to make it before the weekend was done!
Purely decadent with layers of white cake (although chocolate would be really good too), raspberry jam, a creamy vanilla & Cool Whip filling and topped with even more Cool Whip, fresh raspberries and chocolate curls.
You wouldn’t think it would be easy, would you?
After baking the cake, it took all of 20 minutes to put together. Chill time is 3 hours, so making it early in the day or even the night before is best.
A red ribbon dresses it up, but I think a long red licorice string would make a nice touch. A dusting of icing sugar just before serving pretties it up just a bit more.
Since Sunday dinner was Cheddar Cheese and Potato Casserole, which while really yummy, I think you can see why I couldn’t wait until dessert!
Until next time…..

Wow! This dessert is beautiful and looks delicious. I can’t believe it only took 20 minutes to make it!!! I think I’ll make it for Mother’s Day. Thanks for the recipe, Maureen.

Don’t you just love name!! I was really hoping that would be exactly what they would name her. And yes, you should definitely make it in celebration!
