I bought one of these at Christmas and never got around to using it but am going to today but I can't remember what I was going to do with it at Christmas so will just do a fruit flan - quick and easy.I just fill the case with the fruit and pour jelly made with half the water over the top don't I!It's been so long since I did it I can't remember that either!

you could fill half the bottom with creme anglais (custard) then turn it into a fruit flan, artfully arrange fruit around the top of the custard and brush the top with a glaze made of seived apricot jam

Thanks but don't want to use custard and boys don't like apricots

Yes of course - it's a lovely snowy white and makes that awesome squeak when you eat it!
Do you even know what I'm talking about!

This is it - it's a flan case made with sponge, "harder" than sponge cake but softer than sponge fingers:
Okay, that's exactly whatI envisaged.I still don't understand how it can be edible at the end of March if you bought it at Christmas time.

I'd hazard a guess that it's because of all the preservatives etc,but it's not really answering OP's question is i!

Well it was and delicious spread with sugar free fruit spread, frozen mixed berries and strawberry jelly over the top.
Lots of things sit on supermarket shelves in packets for a few weeks and are still perfectly edible, ie. biscuits, chippies, slices, eclair cases .
