Ingredients
- 400 millilitre whipped cream
- 2 cup roughly crumbed christmas cake or pudding
- 2 cup meringue pieces
- 2 cup raspberries or cut strawberries and any other summer fruit that needs using up (we used some pawpaw for a tropical feel)
- small handful mint leaves
Method
- 1In a large bowl, gently fold everything, except the mint leaves, together. Either serve in individual pretty glasses or bowls, or let everyone help themselves from a large bowl. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Notes
• I must admit, I've been known to use the Christmas cake not eaten from the previous year. • Meringues are so easy to make, just beat together 1 egg white, 1 tsp vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp water until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is very stiff. Drop spoonfuls onto a tray covered in baking paper and place in a 150°C oven until the meringues are dry. They will keep for some time in a sealed container for when you wish to use them. They're always handy to have on hand.
