    Makes about 8 servings

    3 tbsp (45g) butter, melted

    Berry Sauce
    3.5 oz (100g) raspberries
    3.5 oz (100g) blackberries
    3.5 oz (100g) blueberries
    1/4 cup (50g) sugar
    1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
    1 tbsp (15ml) water
    1/2 tbsp (5g) gelatin powder
    2 tbsp (30ml) cold water

    Cream Cheese Mixture
    10 oz (300g) cream cheese, room temperature
    1 3/4 cup (400g) whipping cream, 35%fat, chilled
    1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
    1/2 tbsp (5g) gelatin powder
    2 tbsp (30ml) water

    1. Prepare the berry sauce so it has time to cool before preparing the cream cheese mixture. Place the berries, sugar, lemon juice and water in a small sauce pan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

    2. Remove from heat and sieve to remove seeds.

    3. While the sauce is preparing prepare the gelatin. Dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5-10 minutes.

    4. Place gelatin over low heat just until the gelatin dissolves and then pour it over sieved berry sauce. Let the berry sauce cool at room temperature while you prepare the rest.

    5. Prepare the crust. Place the cookies or crackers into a bag and use a rolling pin to turn into crumbs. Transfer the crumbs into a bowl and stir in butter.

    6. Press the mixture into the bottom of a non-stick 8 inch (20 cm) springform pan using the back of a spoon.

    7. Prepare the cream cheese mixture. Dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5-10 minutes.

    8. Meanwhile in a large bowl mix cream cheese with powdered sugar. In another bowl whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually incorporate whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

    9. Place gelatin over low heat just until the gelatin dissolves and then pour it over cream cheese mixture and incorporate.

    10. Divide cream cheese mixture into three different bowls. Pour about two thirds of the berry sauce into one bowl. Pour the other third into the second bowl. Leave the other bowl as it is.

    11. Pour the deep purple cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Freeze for about 10-15 minutes.

    12. Pour the light purple cream cheese mixture and freeze for 10-15 minutes.

    13. Finish with the plain cream cheese mixture. Use an offset spatula to spread evenly.

    14. Refrigerate for about 6 hours or overnight until set.

    15. Before serving decorate with fresh berries and mint leaves.

    Ingredients

    Makes about 10 servings

    Cake
    3 eggs
    2/3 cup (135g) sugar
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    2 tbsp canola oil
    1 tsp lemon juice
    2 cups grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
    3/4 cup (100g) flour
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    2 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp ground ginger
    1/4 tsp nutmeg

    Filling
    1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
    8-ounce (250g) Mascarpone cheese, room temperature
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Dusting
    1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar for the towel and topping

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Butter a 12 X16 inch (30 x 40 cm) baking tray and line it with parchment paper.

    2. In a large bowl add eggs ,sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until lemon yellow and foamy. Add oil and mix until well incorporated. Add carrot and lemon juice. Fold until well combined.

    3. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg over the bowl. Gently fold the flour in. Carrots may be different each time, either with more juice or dry. For this cake it is preferably to be more dry, but if they are too juicy you may need to add gradually another 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup flour in the mixture.

    4. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly into the corners using the back of the spatula.

    5. Bake for 15 minutes. Take a kitchen towel and generously sprinkle with powdered sugar. This helps the cake not stick to the towel.

    6. Sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar.

    7. While still hot roll the cake up in the towel. You will have to do it while is still hot/warm either wise it cracks. Let cool completely.

    8. Whip the cream with an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks. In another bowl, beat Mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Fold together.

    9. Unroll the cake and spread the filling evenly over the cake.

    10. Roll the cake back up. Sprinkle with more powdered sugar before serving.
