Instructions

1 Cut cake in slices and place in the base of 6 serving glasses. Pour over orange juice. Add a sprinkling of cinnamon (if using).

2 Add fruits to cover evenly. Set aside.

3 To make custard, place custard powder in a bowl with sugar. Add just enough milk to form a smooth paste. Heat the remaining milk with vanilla and then pour over custard paste. Mix well, then heat, stirring, until custard is thick.

4 Pour evenly over fruit and serve immediately (or if you prefer, allow custard to set a little). Serve with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon and a mint sprig garnish.

Variations

This dish also works well with leftover fruit bread or leftover banana bread.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free sponge instead of leftover cake or muffin, and check cinnamon and custard powder are gluten free.
