Ingredients

Servings

  • 15 oz mixed fruit cocktail in juice

Instructions

  1. Place the cake in the bottom of the cup or bowl and sprinkle with Sherry.
  2. Next, add some fruit cocktail with a little juice.
  3. Mix the gelatin with a fork (I like to use strawberry flavor) and layer it over the fruit.
  4. Next is the custard layer. Make sure it's not hot or it will melt the gelatin, but if it's already set, it won't look good, so it has to be room temperature.
  5. Last, but not least, top with the freshly whipped cream, either spooning it on, or piping it for a more formal presentation.

Notes

  • Change the jello/jelly color (flavor) to suit the occasion, such as strawberry and lime for Christmas.
  • You can add bananas if you'd like.
