Denise says:
These layered pots of crushed biscuits, salted caramel and raspberries are an impressive romantic dessert that can also be made parev. Layer the mixture in glass dishes, ramekins, wine or champagne glasses for a stylish look. The added bonus about this dessert is that is has to be made in advance so no last minute cooking or preparation is required.
