Pineapple, jelly and custard 2

The Red Cross Tried and True Cookery Book, NSW 1983


Pineapple Sponge (Recipe contributed by Beryl Kreckler, Toongabbie Branch)

1 can pineapple pieces; 2 passionfruit; 2 eggs; 1 pineapple jelly; 1 pint (2 cups) milk; 2 tblsp custard powder; vanilla; 2 tblsp sugar

Drain pineapple pieces and make juice up to 1 ½ cups with water. Make jelly with heated juice and allow to cool. Put pineapple pieces in base of a serving dish. Pour passionfruit over pineapple pieces (2 or 3 according to size).

Separate the eggs, make a custard using egg yolks, milk, custard powder, sugar and vanilla and pour it over the pineapple pieces and passionfruit. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into cooled jelly and pour over custard and fruit. (If you are reluctant to use raw egg white, you could just pour the jelly over the custard).

Refrigerate and serve with cream or ice cream.







Very sweet, a custard lover would enjoy this dish! 
It would look more glamorous made in the small individual bowls 
rather than served from the large one! Anne
