Mini Strawberry Sandwich And Custard Cakes

This impressive summer treat couldn’t be easier. Juicy Red Diamond Strawberries are the star of the show, accompanied by a creamy custard icing that takes just seconds to prepare. These fluffy Mini Strawberry Sandwiches Cakes from M&S are the perfect base, but you could get creative with a Victoria sponge or your favourite loaf cake instead.

Ingredients

200 g M&S Madagascan vanilla icing
50 ml M&S Madagascan vanilla custard
4 M&S Victoria mini sandwich cake
200 g M&S red diamond strawberries, trimmed, sliced

Method

Transfer the icing (200g) to a bowl and beat in the custard (50ml) using an electric whisk, approximately. 10 seconds. You want it to loosen slightly and be a nice, spreadable consistency.

Spoon onto the cupcakes (4), then top with the sliced strawberries (200 g) to serve.
