For Mother's day this year, I wanted to try something different. Apparently, different means, crazy multi-step, multi-ingredient and time consuming. This dessert required the following:
- Phyllo pastry, used store bought
- Chantilly cream, made fresh
- Macaroons, store bought from Charmaine's Sweet Studio (highly recommend)
- Meringues, made myself. Note: Only use fresh egg whites, not from a carton or you end up wasting your time and ingredients to start over!
- Chocolate ganache, made fresh
- Brownies, store bought 2 bite brownies
- Strawberries, not Ontario grown :( They aren't ready yet)
There are numerous YouTube videos on these types of cakes to follow. I chose to use Phyllo pastry instead of using a cookie recipe because I didn't want to worry about it breaking and how it would be difficult to cut without breaking it.
It was a lot of work! But totally worth it for my mom and me! It was really good. I won't be making one for a LONG time though.
