Red berries in aspic with their vanilla sauce (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
A speciality from northern Germany and Scandinavia that marked my childhood. I haven't made it for so long, but 'rote Grütze', as it's called in our country, has found its way back into my fridge for several weeks now - especially since the hot weather has arrived. I serve it as a dessert with my family, but also with friends. It's a vitamin-packed dessert, with a deliciously fresh taste and a bright red colour, and it's particularly good with a cold vanilla sauce. So it's the perfect recipe to prepare in advance. Freshly baked fruit porridge can easily be kept for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. And the good news is that this dessert is gluten-free, gelatine-free and can easily be made in a lactose-free or vegan version - as long as you replace the vanilla sauce with a plant-based variant.
