This is a fairly easy dessert if you are
entertaining over the Easter holidays. Yes, you can use bought vanilla custard
from Woollies or another supermarket. Just make it the day before

4 Tablespoons runny honey - 120g
sugar - 1 level teaspoon ground cinnamon 300ml double cream 300ml thick vanilla
custard - 2 egg whites
Put honey, sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan with
100 ml water. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then boil for 5 minutes or until
it becomes syrupy. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then gradually add the hot
syrup in a thin stream, whisking all the time to keep the mixture stiff. Whisk
till cool. It is easier in a mixer. It will look like soft meringue
Whip the cream until it just holds its shape, fold
through the meringue mixture and then add the custard. Spoon into a freezer
container and freeze overnight. Take out of the freezer 10 minutes before
serving. Serve sprinkled with nuts and some good fresh berries. And if you can
get some, broken up honeycomb
Note: there is a lot of rather dubious honey in
the shops, much of which is imported from China, and much of which has been
adulterated with other substances. Honey is expensive and dubious practices are
used to bring prices down. As always, you get what you pay for. Read the label
carefully. Preferably, it should be approved by the South African Bee Industry
Organisation (SABIO). There is a simple test if you are in doubt: Fill a glass
with water. Add one tablespoon of honey into the glass. Adulterated or
artificial honey will dissolve in water and you will see it around the glass.
Pure honey on the other hand will settle right at the bottom of your glass
