AMBROSIA() - AMBROSIA
AMBROSIA - Simple desert 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.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
- 300 ml (1¼ cups)
- heavy cream
- (2)
- bananas
(or equivalent amount of some soft fruit)
-
- broken meringue
PROCEDURE

NOTES
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(D)
attempt when the meringue part fails:
it produces a delicious desert and no-one need ever know...
RATING
Difficulty:
very simple.
Time:
10 minutes presuming you have the meringue available.
Precision:
No need to measure.
