Kelly’s Strawberry Swirl
Posted: 24 September '09 by Kelly
I am usually of the thinking that a dessert is not a dessert unless it is oozing and dripping with chocolate. BUT my mind was changed (well sort of) when I tried a Gordon Ramsey dessert he made on the ‘F’ Word. I can’t remember the name so I have decided to name it ‘Kelly’s strawberry swirl’. You can obviously change the name to your own…
It is a really simple dessert to make and you can make it in advance and keep it in the fridge for whenever your guests arrive. Simple and delicious…
Ingredients
- 2 Punnets of strawberries, quartered
- Balsamic Vinegar
- One large tub of vanilla custard
- Small tub of double cream
- Approx 80g of meringues crushed
- Sugar
Method
- Cut the strawberries into quarters and place them in a bowl
- Add about half a small bottle of Balsamic vinegar
- Add 5 tablespoons of sugar to the strawberries and balsamic (or enough so whenever you taste the vinegar has lost some of its acidic taste)
- Put all of this into a pan with NO oil and simmer until the strawberries have cooked and created a ‘jam like’ consistency
- While this simmers you can now start to make the rest of the dessert
- Place the custard into a bowl and add half of a small tub of double cream and stir
- Once the strawberries are almost ‘jam like’ you are ready to construct the dish
- Get a large tall glass and add the custard and cream first
- Add the crushed meringues
- Add the strawberries
- Repeat this until your glass if full
This really is a delicious dessert, very tasty and simple to make.
Enjoy
