This time-saving dessert only takes five minutes to prepare and there is no preheating the oven required. Easy as!
Ingredients
- ½ packet vanilla cake mix
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 300ml pouring cream
- 100ml milk
- 150g of your favourite fruit – try pears or peaches
- vanilla ice cream (to serve)
Method
- Prepare the half-portion of cake mix in a bowl then scrape it into a large microwave-safe bowl.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, sugar and vanilla together until well combined, then pour in the cream and milk and whisk together for two minutes more.
- Arrange the fruit pieces on top of the cake mix and then pour over the cream mixture. Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes – the cream will sink down to make a delicious custard layer.
- Leave to cool slightly for a couple of minutes, then serve with some vanilla ice cream.
