Making Something Outta Nothing

Middle of the night and I’m starving but I was too lazy to drive out to eat. Decided to cook instant noodles as a quick fix for my hunger pangs but as luck would have it, I was out of noodles.

So I ransacked my kitchen and my fridge for whatever I could find to make a meal. Ended up with mince meat and some wrappings so I made myself wanton soup.

But that wasn’t quite enough for my little tummy so I rifled through the fridge and kitchen some more and found milk, biscuits, butter, cherries, sugar and custard powder.

I crushed the biscuits with butter over heat to make my pie base.

Mixed the custard powder and milk to make my vanilla custard filling.

Used the cherries and cocoa powder to make the tart topping… and there I had my dessert.

Absolutely random but it’s a wonder what you can come up with using left over ingredients found in the kitchen at 4 am in the morning.
