Currant and liqueur dessert

1 serving

20 minutes

The dessert made from currants and liqueur is a refined combination of rich berry flavor with the velvety notes of Baileys liqueur. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where currants have long been used to create exquisite sweets. During preparation, the berries undergo heat treatment, revealing the depth of their flavor, and then combine with the liqueur that adds a delicate creaminess. Sugar adds a balance of sweetness, while semolina transforms the dessert into an airy mass resembling mousse. The whipped texture makes it particularly light, and a sprig of mint adds a fresh aroma. This dessert is perfect for concluding a romantic dinner or cozy evening, harmonizing well with coffee or herbal tea and leaving an unforgettable impression of tenderness and sophistication.
