Every mouthful of this tastes like a hot cross bun only better! It’s crunchy and creamy, sweet and spicy.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
½ cup currants or raisins
¼ cup rum or brandy
Squeeze of fresh orange juice
½ tsp cinnamon + extra for dusting
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch mixed spice
200mls cream, whipped
1 packet store-bought meringues
2-3 fresh plums, sliced
2 tbsps glace orange or lemon peel, chopped finely
Small handful mint leaves
Method:
Simmer currants or raisins with rum, orange juice and spices for 3-5 minutes until they plump up. Cool.
Take a large platter and dollop the whipped cream on it. Roughly crush the meringues and sprinkle these over the cream. Scatter over plum slices, chopped peel and cooled currants. Dust with a bit more cinnamon and scatter over mint leaves.
When serving make sure that each serve gets a bit of everything.
Notes:
Use pears or feijoa if you can’t find fresh plums.
For a dairy free alternative, use coconut yoghurt instead of cream.
