Flummery – funny word, yet extremely delicious and a super easy dessert to make.
According to Wikipedia, Flummery is a starch-based, sweet, soft dessert pudding known to have been popular in Britain and Ireland from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. The word has also been used for other semi-set desserts.
These days, this dessert is also known as Jelly Whip.
It is a tasty dessert that is very versatile and can be jazzed up or served as is.ย It is extremely light, almost like a mousse like texture and looks a lot more impressive than it is to make.
We used to have this as kids and it is for that reason I decided to re-visit memory lane.ย This was used as our Christmas Eve family dinner dessert and is just a perfect accompaniment to a hot day and a delicious dinner.
