Crema De Fruta

I love experimenting with desserts but my husband does not like fruits when they are cooked. He says it destroys their vitamins. Much as I like to try making short pastries like apple pie, I don't dare since I will end up consuming it all. So in my in my quest for summer perfect dessert, I made my first ever Crema De Fruta. Hubby enjoyed it thoroughly and I figured he should be delighted at all because he likes gelatin and fresh fruits, so that he tolerates the sponge cake base, Like other regular guys who cannot stand sweets, he can only have a tiny portion in a slice of cake.

I share with you today my recipe.
