I just took a very close look at the whipped strawberry dessert.
That looks good enough to risk a high sugar test. I would venture it tastes as good as it looks.
OK. It’s now 11:01PM Eastern and I have just completed reading the thread. I will now go back and reread some I have marked down plus the always informative and entertaining, Anita’s Media Nuggets.
I feel like the poor guy on the commercial from a few years ago. He was surfing the net and came upon the “last site” and was told he had reached the “end of the internet”.
Thanks to all contributors. When I’m not lurking on Sunday mornings it’s always a treat to come in later and read the entire thread.
The recipe.
One egg, 2oz SR Flour, 2oz soft marg, 2oz sugar, 2 tablespoon water, pinch of salt. Put all ingredients into mixing bowl and whisk with electric hand mixer for about 2 - 3 mins until light and fluffy and pale in colour.
Grease small microwave basin and pour in ingredients (I actually used the dish I mixed it in - it stuck a little but for this purpose it does not really matter). Cook in microwave for 2 - 3 mins dependent upon wattage of your oven - sponge should rise and but dry on top.
Leave to cool. Meanwhile make up pint and half of jelly (jello) mixed with tin fruit - I used fruit cocktail but any tinned fruit when do that goes with jello - my jello was strawberry. Include the fruit to measure the pint and half, this will mean that the jelly will set slightly harder than normal. Put into fridge to allow it start to set.
Cut the cooled sponge up and place into the bottom large dish as per the photo in about one inch square and 1/3 inch thick approx. I managed to do 2 layers probably cause my sponge was a little thinner than this. Liberally sprinkle sherry over the sponge but not too much otherwise is will go soggy.
When the jelly mixture is starting to set but not liquid otherwise it will soak into the sponge pour over the sponge.
Make up a pint of strawberry whipped dessert or non cooked pudding dessert similar to Angel Whip/Angel Delight an instant dessert which you add milk and whisk for a couple of minutes until thickened. I am sure you have various types and flavours similar to what I used. As I used strawberry jello I used a strawberry mix but again you can use any flavour that goes with the jello and tinned fruit you choose.
I think sprinkled grated chocolate over the top and served with fresh strawberries and vanilla pro-biotic yogurt.
Enjoy
