"This is one of hubbies favourite desserts. Been making it now for 30 years. I usually make my own pastry shell with 1/2 measurement of recipe of shortcrust pastry. Have not included time for OPTIONAL EXTRA or baking of pastry shell. The pastry shells can be found in the freezer section or you can also buy small individual ones to use, though I find the premade (raw) to be very sweet."

Let cool and pour into ready made cooked pie pastry shell.

Step 5

OPTIONAL EXTRA (MERINGUE TOPPING)- beat 2 egg whites till soft peaks form, slowly add in 4 tablespoon sugar until glossy and have stiff peaks.

Step 6

Spoon meringue onto caramel, making sure it covers the pastry.

Step 7

Put into a hot oven (200 degree C) and bake till golden - should only take a few minutes.
