A New Year dessert

I always think it is a good thing to involve children in the kitchen. Knowing one of our New Years visitors has a passion for desserts meant I was sure I could tempt him to help us make desert on New Years Eve. We made a meringue base the night before using simple recipe. Four egg whites which were wipped up with six ounces of caster sugar which was added to the mixture after it was wipped into soft peaks. This was spooned onto a greaseproof lined metal dish and cooked in the oven for one hour the oven then being turned off and the base left in overnight to dry off. Just before we wanted the dessert we put it together. Sliced bananas were scattered over the base, onto which were put alternate scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. A warmed up toffee sauce was then poured over the dessert and then grated chocolate sprinkled on top of that. All I can say is I am pleased we did a nice walk before dinner so at least we all felt we deserved such a rich dessert - which was very nice. Nice dessert SR.
