Layered desserts

I think layered desserts are a nice, uncomplicated and very quick way to prepare a dessert - especially when you have guests over again and you want it to look nice.

When we invited our lovely Icelandic neighbor (who always checks on our house when we're not there) over for dinner, I simply bought two different flavors of Súrmjólk (thickened milk) from the supermarket, each with grated chocolate or coconut a little "pimped", each with a layer of cookie crumbs underneath - and then garnished with fresh strawberries. And our neighbor now thinks I'm a good cook!

Ingredients

500 ml caramel thick milk

500 ml strawberry thick milk

3 - 4 Tbsp coconut flakes

3 - 4 Tbsp chocolate shavings

8 - 10 oatmeal cookies

2 Tbsp butter

8 fresh strawberries

Preparation

First melt the butter.

Crumble the oatmeal cookies and mix with the melted butter.

Mix the caramel thick milk with the chocolate shavings in a bowl.

In a second bowl, mix the strawberry thick milk with the coconut flakes.

Then layer the dessert in 4 suitable glasses:

First put some cookie crumbs on the bottom, then distribute the caramel-chocolate mixture among the four glasses. Then add the remaining cookie crumbs on top and top with the strawberry-coconut mixture.

Wash, clean and chop the strawberries.

Then arrange the strawberry pieces on the dessert and sprinkle with some coconut and chocolate shavings.

It's good for the dessert if it can sit in the fridge for 1 - 2 hours.
