Indulgent recipes to get you feeling fruity !

I have two recipes to share with you today that are perfect for kids, quick and easy to make and will even get the kids wolfing down fresh fruit : Kelly’s of Cornwall's Strawberry Meringue Sundae and Good Natured’s Banana Split. Need I say more ?!

**************************************************************************

Easy Strawberry Meringue Sundae

Ingredients

4 egg whites

250g golden icing sugar

Fresh strawberries

Kelly’s of Cornwall Clotted Cream Ice Cream

Method

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Put the egg whites and sugar in a clean, dry bowl (don’t use a plastic one, as they can be greasy) and beat with the whisk attachment of an electric food mixer or hand-held electric beater until the mixture is foamy and stiff.

This will take about 10 minutes; so don’t use a hand whisk. Spoon the meringue on to baking trays lined with baking parchment in small dollops for individual meringues. Remember that it will spread as it cooks, so leave room between individual meringues. Cook for 35–45 minutes until crisp, and then remove from the oven and leave to cool. Break down the meringue into chunks and place in a tall glass.

Mix with fresh strawberries and Kelly’s Cornish Clotted Cream ice cream or Kelly’s Clotted Cream & Strawberries ice cream and serve.
