Weet-Bix Mille-Feuille
Serves: 4
Active Time: 10 Minutes
Resting Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients
4 Weet-Bix
1 tablespoon strawberry jam
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 cup (150 g/5½ oz) mixed berries
Vanilla Cream
300 ml (10 fl oz) thickened (whipping) cream
50 g (1¾ oz) icing (confectioners’) sugar, plus extra for dusting
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
To make the vanilla cream, whip the cream together with the icing sugar and vanilla to soft peaks. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a petal nozzle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Split each Weet-Bix in half and horizontally to create a thin wager. Combine the strawberry jam and melted butter and brush over the top of each wafer. Pipe the top of half the wafers with cream and stud with a few berries. Place an extra wafer on top and pipe with cream again. Stud with a few more berries and dust with icing sugar to serve.
