This recipe has been shared with us by Sue Kling.
"This is a light, easy-to-make dessert that happily works with a variety of fruit. It can be served warm or cold. Although it is traditionally not served with anything, we like it with some whipped cream or ice cream." - Sue
Recipe Tester Feedback: "We really enjoyed this. The mixture of fruit and custard cake made for a lovely family dessert, and it was perfect for a winter's night. Just as good smuggled into my lunchbox for afternoon tea the next day too." - Tracey
