   • Begin by washing the fresh raspberries and slicing the peaches into thin, even slices. Set them aside for layering.

2. Layer the Cake:

   • Break the sponge cake into bite-sized pieces and arrange them at the bottom of a large serving bowl or trifle dish. Make sure the pieces are spread evenly.

3. First Layer of Fruit:

   • Gently spread about one-third of the raspberries and peach slices on top of the cake pieces. This will form the first fruity layer of your dessert.

4. First Layer of Fruit Dip:

   • Pour one-third of the fruit dip (described below) over the fruit layer. Spread it gently to cover the fruit evenly.

5. Make the Fruit Dip:

   • To make the fruit dip, first line a colander or sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth that has been rinsed out and squeezed dry. Let the edges of the cheesecloth hang over the sides of the colander.
   • Stir the plain low-fat yogurt in a bowl until smooth. Then pour the yogurt into the colander, folding the cheesecloth over the yogurt to cover it. Allow the yogurt to drain in the colander, which should be placed over a large bowl to catch the excess liquid.
   • Refrigerate the colander with the yogurt for 12 to 24 hours. This step ensures the yogurt becomes thick and creamy, with any excess liquid (whey) draining out.

6. Strain the Yogurt:

   • After 12-24 hours, remove the colander from the refrigerator and discard the liquid that has accumulated in the bowl. What you’re left with is a thick, strained yogurt that will give your fruit dip a rich texture.

7. Prepare the Fruit Dip:

   • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the thickened yogurt, powdered sugar, and schnapps (optional) to add a touch of flavor. Stir everything together until the mixture is well-blended and smooth.

8. Assemble the Dessert:

   • Return to your serving dish and add the next layer of fruit (about a third of the remaining raspberries and peach slices) on top of the fruit dip, followed by another third of the fruit dip. Repeat until all the ingredients are layered in the dish.

9. Serve:

   • Once all the layers are assembled, refrigerate the dessert for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill thoroughly.
   • Serve chilled, and enjoy this delightful, fruity, and creamy treat!

Notes

• Make Ahead: This dessert is perfect for making ahead of time. The yogurt strain and fruit dip process can be done the day before, allowing you to assemble the dessert just before serving.
• Flavor Variations: You can switch up the fruit used in this dessert. Try using other berries such as blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries. For a twist, you could also add a splash of vanilla extract to the yogurt dip.
• Schnapps: The schnapps adds a subtle boozy note, but if you’re serving this dessert to children or prefer an alcohol-free version, you can easily omit it without compromising the taste.

This Raspberry/Peach Dessert from Love With Recipes is an elegant, refreshing treat, perfect for any occasion! Enjoy the balance of sweet fruit, rich yogurt, and soft cake layers.
