Luxury pudding on the cheap...

Brambling

This meringue roulade is an easy recipe I use Greek yoghurt rather than cream which people prefer and add raspberries

Here’s an easy least one made with just three ingredients, a tin of berries in fruit juice (raspberries are best but strawberries or black currants will do at a push but must be in juice not syrup) a bag of pink & white marshmallows and a carton of whipping cream
Cut the marshmallows into quarters, stir in the berries & juice and leave in the fridge overnight to soak. Next morning whip your cream and stir it into the fruity marshmallows and put back into the fridge for a few hours. It’s like a fruity mousse and never fails to please.

Does it come out like a berry moouse?

Like the berry mousse recipe

One I learned a while ago is pear and ginger trifle, this is Jamaican ginger cake (cheapest in home bargains) sliced into the bottom of a dish, topped with sliced tinned pears (without adding juice), then finished with a layer of custard and a layer of whipped cream, topped with toasted almonds if I'm feeling posh, or a crumbled flake if not.

And I've just read you wanted something different from trifle, sorry OP!

Thank you for all your yummy replies, im still not sure though i love the marshmello idea.

Frozen raspberries have plenty of acid in them, but the decomposition could take a little longer.

OP - be aware that this is not a recipe suitable for veggies.

There are vegetarian marshmallows nowadays so that could be easily subbed if the OP needs it.

I am definitely going to try this.


I've also been served a chocolate orange trifle (suitable for vegetarians); there are lots of interesting variations.


Another easy option is key lime pie; I do one with a digestive biscuit base (easy to use gluten-free here) and then lime juice & zest mixed with condensed milk. This is less heavy/rich than a lot of puddings.

Never fails to impress people and should come in between the £3/4 point.

Would that marshmallow mousse thing keep if not all eaten at once? Thinking that the whipped cream might revert to liquid ...
