Forgotten Pudding Fruit And Berries

Our answer

Nigella's Forgotten Pudding (from NIGELLA EXPRESS) is a meringue that is baked by being left (or "forgotten") in a turned off and cooling oven. The result is a marshmallow-like meringue that can be served with whipped cream and fruits.

Nigella suggests strawberries and blackberries for serving, but you can use any soft fruit that you like and is easily available to you. A slightly sharp fruit is a good foil for the sweet meringue and raspberries and blueberries would be fine. But you could also use roasted or poached forced rhubarb at this time of year (if available in your area), diced tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango, banana and papaya or even try Nigella's Caramelised Oranges. Blood (sanguinello/ruby) oranges would be particularly good for the Caramelised Oranges at this time of year.
