Chavlova is what you want.

Couple of packs of Malteasers
Couple of Crunchie bars

No it doesn't .

If trifle isn't acceptable mixing up sweets and cream is unlikely to be viewed favourably

[Petrol Only]

4 egg whites

8oz Caster sugar

1 teasp good vanilla essence

1 ½ teasp vinegar

2 tablesp cornflour

Cream and Fruit





Whisk egg whites until stiff
Add half the sugar. Whisk until mixture stands in peaks
Then fold in the remaining sugar
Fold in vanilla essence vinegar and cornflour unit evenly distributed in the mixture it might need another short whisk so that the mixture stands in peaks
Spoon the meringue mixture onto a baking tray which has been lined with non stick baking parchment
Cook for 1 hour @ 140 c until firm and golden all over then leave in the oven to cool I leave mine in over night
Then fill with fresh cream and fruit

Bold is the important bit. Perfect crisp outer and gooey middle.

Credit goes to my mum.

take a large bowl and line it with cling film.

buy one large pannetone and cut it into thick slices.

fill a plate with sherry and douse the slices both sides before using them to completely line the bowl. put another bowl in the middle to keep everything in shape and stick it in the freezer for 30mins or so.

once frozen, fill the middle with layers of rich vanilla ice-cream and whatever takes your fancy. i tend to use pieces of meringue, chopped cherries canned not glace], clementines, walnuts. basically anything festive.

once filled, put a layer of sherried panetone at the bottom and freeze the whole thing overnight.

prior to serving, put it right side up on a plate [the cling helps seperate the pud from the bowl] and completely cover the outside with melted chocolate. by the time the choc has reset it will be defrosted enough to slice. serve either as is or with proper custard.


bombes are simple and tasty. you can make your own icecream but that's a PITA.

Any kind of fruit crumble. Apple, raspberry, blackberry, rhubarb, or any combo of the above. It is impossible to cock up - my 6 year old and I make it together every now and then and from raw materials to table in 40 mins....

Clootie dumpling. A rich fruit dumpling and almost imposible to burn as you boil it.
