In the End We Begin Again

Mum and Dad - Toasting Life and Mum with her new benches



I have returned home. For 84 days I thought that 'home' would simply be within me. I was wrong. There are small pockets across the world that I left feeling very touched and blessed to have walked there. Hoping to return to some places. But there is nothing like 'Pindari'.

Recipe of the Day - Meringue and Raspberry Cream Torte

Found in Better Homes & Gardens Mag - August 2008. 

Mum made this for us once. She made her own meringues which are ummm... amazing... but you don't have to.

Prep Time: 10 min plus 3 - 4 hrs freezing time
Serves: 8 (or 1 if you don't like sharing)

2kg good quality vanilla and strawberry ripple ice cream
300g fresh or frozen raspberries
10 purchased meringue nests (gently crushed)
Extra 300g fresh or forzen raspberries

Line a round 22cm springform cake tin with cling wrap. Allow ice cream to soften but not melt. Put 1/3 of ice cream in the base of tin, cover with 1/2 the raspberries and 1/2 crsuhed meringue. Continue to layer ingredients in this manner, ending with a layer of ice cream. Cover tin with cling wrap and freeze 3 - 4 hrs.
Remove from freezer and turn out onto a large plate. Top with extra raspberries and cut into wedges to serve.

Ummm... awesome... we are loving the 80's with these kitchy desserts!
