Lambrusco with Strawberry Cream makes a perfect no bake dessert

I have discovered that Lambrusco  can be a very refreshing drop for the summer. Lambrusco is the name of a grape variety as well as the mostly red or pink sparkling (Frizzante), that are produced in Northern Italy. I have to admit that a misspent youth, didn’t regurgitate any endearing memories of this light Italian sparking for me. Back then it was mostly sweet and  it meant we guzzled it in way too bigger quantities.

Lambrusco is meant to be drunk young and fresh and with a world looking for less sweet wines it can now be found in drier and sometimes even more Rose styles ( limited skin contact with the must). The sweet versions of the wine are typically in the light bodied frizzante style while the drier wines are more full bodied and darker in colour. You can find Australian Lambrusco but they are cheapish and usually sweet.

This dessert though will be nice with any Lambrusco or even Prosecco if you like. It’s an easy light dessert that can be made ahead and everyone always loves it. Improvise with fruits and different biscuits. it’s a keeper.

    I love the look of your dessert. It looks so pretty in those glasses. I think I could take to a champagne appreciation night. And I definitely miss records – so much better to have all those albums than a bunch of downloaded tunes xx
