Fruit Charlotte is a classic dessert that originated in France. It is a beautiful and delicious dessert that consists of a layer of sponge cake or ladyfingers that are lined with fresh fruit and topped with a creamy filling. Traditionally, the dessert is made with apples, but you can use any fruit you like.

To make this delicious dessert, you will need:

– 1 pound fresh fruit
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1 package ladyfingers or sponge cake
– 1/2 cup apricot jam
– 2 tablespoons water

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Select your choice of fruits – this can include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Cut up any large fruits into small pieces. If you are using apples, peel and core them and then slice them thinly.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Filling

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Add 1/4 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat until fluffy and then set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Dessert

Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Dip half of the ladyfingers or sponge cake pieces into the apricot jam mixture, and then arrange them around the edge of the pan. Repeat this step with the other half of the ladyfingers or sponge cake pieces, this time filling the center of the pan.

Once done, cover the bottom and sides of the pan with fruit, making sure to leave some fruit for the top.

Step 4: Add the Cream Filling

Pour the cream filling on top of the fruit until it covers the entire pan. Spread the cream filling evenly with a spatula until the surface is smooth.

Step 5: Chill

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

When ready to serve, remove the Fruit Charlotte from the refrigerator and remove the springform pan. Garnish the top of the dessert with the remaining fruit. Cut it into slices and serve chilled.

Fruit Charlotte is an elegant dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, which makes it convenient. You can experiment with different fruits to create variations of this classic dessert. The creamy filling and the fresh fruits make it a dessert that is sure to be a winner with everyone.
