Simple, but great - thanks for sharing.

I make a similar dish with some grog in the marscapone/yoghurt and use it as a dip for the strawberries and other fruits.

And another 5 "tickets"

I also made the same dessert but poured Frangelico over the marscapone.....as well as mixing some in the marscapone...I also layered the nuts/choc mix with the marscapone instead of putting all the mix on the top...and i used mixed frozen berries as the fruit and also poured cointreau over the fruit

Karen isn't it hard with a wonderful machine like a thermomix?  I have just discovered that it makes lemon butter to die for, and risotto and for any type of white sauce I don't need to stand there and stir, AND as an added bonus I don't get lumps in the white sauce anymore.
Very hard to be strong willed when it is so easy to make some of these things. ::)
