Baked cherry custard

By Phillippa Cheifitz
6
Easy
20 minutes
45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 350 g frozen cherries, defrosted and drained
  • Butter to grease
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 1 x 500 ml fresh custard tub
  • ¼ cup cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 70 g flour
  • Icing sugar for dusting
  • Cream for servin

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place the cherries in a greased ovenproof dish (1 litre capacity).

Beat together the eggs, custard, cream, sugar and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture over the cherries and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and set.

Dust with sifted icing sugar and serve warm. Pass around a jug of cream at the table.

Cook’s note: Use poached apple slices instead of cherries – for the cooking method, refer to the recipe for cashew caramel apple custard.
