These beautiful individual servings are a great way to serve a delicious treat at an al fresco coronation party or picnic with the family. And, what better way to upcycle those Bonne Maman jars?

Each decedent jar is packed full of soft, red fruit flavours and a quick, dreamy cheesecake topping. Why not add on these glittery gold shortbread crown biscuits for the final royal seal of approval?
