In the original post I wrote the following: When I saw this recipe a whole truck-load full of memories swamped me and I had visions of bright colours, permed hair and my mom’s yellow and white polka dot heels. For me, this is the 80?s in a dessert. Sickly sweet, a little bit kitsch with its light pink and white marshmallows and bright red cherries peaking out but above and beyond all that, it’s charming. And something you can only make for people who have a good sense of humour. You could make this as a large fridge tart, or as I’ve done here as a layered dessert which makes it a little more chic as well. The finished tart has the texture of a no bake cheesecake. You could, if you wanted to, leave out the marshmallows and cherries and add lemon zest but I have to be honest, the marshmallow and cherries are so endearing, I just can’t bear to leave it out.A real treat and a hit with kids and adults alike.
