AMBROSIA

Servings: 4
Ingredients:

1 1/4 C  Cream, heavy                             -amount of soft fruit)
2    Bananas (or equivalent                   Broken meringue

Whip the cream. Chop fruit coarsely, but don’t crush. Break meringue into
large crumbs. Mix everything shortly before serving and pile into glasses.

NOTES:

* Simple dessert for failed Pavlova attempts — My mother used to make the
banana variety of this when she cooked her meringues a little too long or
too hot. I’ve no idea of its origins.

* I can never make up my mind whether I prefer the strawberry or the
banana version. Peach should be pretty good too, though I’ve never tried
it.

* This is a neat way of saving a Pavlova attempt when the meringue part
fails: it produces a delicious desert and no-one need ever know…

: Difficulty: very simple.
: Time: 10 minutes presuming you have the meringue available.
: Precision: No need to measure.
