Dessert in a cup

Dessert in a cup





Don’t you have one of those days when you are frazzled? Guests are coming in a few hours and things don’t seem to be working out. And you need to dish up a delectable dessert in a jiffy!! Even the best of cooks have those “off” days and you just want to have that one thing on the plate that will bring a smile on everyone’s face.

My oven is very temperamental. I swear at times it seems that it can judge the urgency of the situation and decides to give itself a day off. My dish is all prepped and ready to bake and Mr Oven lets me down. I have this quick-to-assemble, ready-in-a-bit dessert specially for such situations.

I always have some sort of cake in my pantry (mostly it is chocolate cake). Custard and/or jelly is also usually readily available. I just happened to have butterscotch custard at hand and I had butterscotch chips to garnish.




Cut the cake into small squares. If they feel a bit dry, drizzle some sugar syrup to make them moist. Prepare and cool the custard. Now simply layer the cake and custard. Garnish with butterscotch chips or sprinkles or chocolate flakes.

Though I bake everyday, it has been ages since I posted anything new on my blog. Last year saw lots of changes ...
