Ingredients
1 Small Sponge Flan (shop bought)
Fresh strawberries
1/2 a pint Strawberry Jelly
Crushed Meringue
Squirty Real Dairy Cream
Layer the sliced strawberries on the flan base and cover with almost setting strawberry jelly. When fully set and prior to serving, top with squirty real dairy cream and sprinkle generously with crushed meringue. Remember folks - I don't do posh! Quick and easy for this 24/7 manic world in which we live!
For crushed meringue please see my infamous 'Meringue Blobs'. Awful they look but mouth melting they taste! I know. Take as many as you like of the blobs and crush in a sealed food bag. Now I've assumed your piping of swirls is as bad as mine! If not then take two beautifully piped swirls and crush in the same way.
It's always a good idea to pick up a few bars of cooking chocolate to hide away in the fridge - ha! If you're a chocoholic, which I was - ha! Simply grate some over the squirty real dairy cream instead of sprinkling crushed meringue. Toppings indeed can be varied. I try to tell my own lass to make sure she has 'basic' ingredients in her pantry. You just never know who is going to call.
A notion my mother held onto. She would scour her pantry and would produce a feast seemingly out of very little. They did way back then and indeed many recipes reflect just that! Bread Pudding and Bubble and Squeak springs to mind. Wasting food was taboo! And as far as I'm concerned - still is!
