  • Apricot halves 410g can, drained
  • Custard powder 2 tbsp
  • Eggs 3, separated

Directions

  1. Slice the Swiss roll and arrange with the apricots in a 1.25 litre (2 pint) ovenproof dish.

  2. Blend the custard powder, egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of the sugar together with a little of the milk. Heat the rest of the milk until nearly boiling, then pour onto the custard mixture and stir well. Return to the pan and bring to the boil, stirring continuously until thick. Pour over the apricots.

  3. Whisk the egg whites until stiff then fold in the remaining caster sugar. Pile the meringue on top of the custard and sprinkle on the almonds, if using. Bake for about 20 minutes until the meringue is golden. Serve hot.
