Canapes with berry topping with lemon cream

Use either pastry cases or toast as canape bases.

Bake ready-made pastry cases (try Jus Rol Medium Size Pastry Cases, which comes in a box of 18) according to the instructions.

For toast, cut white bread with cookie cutters, spray with cooking spray and toast in the oven till crisp.



Canapes to go - Part 1.

Ingredients (serves 8):
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp icing sugar
3 tbsp whipping cream
60g fresh blueberries
60g fresh raspberries
Icing sugar, for dusting

Method:
1. Add the lemon juice and icing sugar to the whipping cream and whisk until stiff.
2. Leave it in the freezer to chill for 1 hour.
3. Spoon the lemon cream into the pastry cups and spread on toast. Add raspberries to the pastry cases and blueberries to the toast.
4. Dust some icing sugar on top before serving.

Tips:
Pastry case canapes can be prepared just before guests arrive, but assemble the ones on toast just before serving as they get soggy faster.
