Nowadays we understand the meaning of the word dessert as something sweet, lush, with cream and delicate biscuit. But about 200 years ago, dessert meant something else. For the elite, dessert was a variety of confectionery, and for the poorer classes, dessert was leftovers from the table.
Many people could not afford to buy sugar, so people did not know about buns and cakes
.
Confectionery was replaced by berries and fruits, as well as pies
. Nowadays, anyone can afford dessert. There is a large variety of cakes in stores. We recommend preparing a homemade fluffy dessert.

Bake the biscuit at 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
To prepare raspberry jam, pour the berries into a pan, pour lemon juice, add sugar. Cook the berry on medium heat for 6 minutes.
Then it is necessary to pass the berry through a sieve. To prepare the cream, it is necessary to mix gelatin with water. Cream cheese is combined with cream and powdered sugar, beat until homogeneous with a mixer
. Mix the thick part of the jam with ⅓ of the cream and gelatin water. Spread a layer of cream on the biscuit, put it in the refrigerator for an hour until hardening.
Then you need the second part of the cream to cover the top layer of the dessert. Soak the cookies in milk and cover the top layer of the dessert with it. Put a third of the cream on the cookies, spread it evenly on the surface.
Put the dessert in the refrigerator for an hour until it hardens. Mix the jam liquid with gelatin and water, spread it on the top of the dessert. Put the dessert in the refrigerator again – for 4 hours.
The result is a multi-layered raspberry dessert. The dessert takes a long time to prepare, but the time spent is worth it.
