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.
