    do NOT flatten the topping with the spoon.

12. 12

    Bake the fingers until topping starts to turn slightly brown and crispy.

13. 13

    I used a toaster oven so it was 5mins on a timer, but you have to be careful not to burn the topping.

    Serve immediately, as once cooled the topping may collapse.

    Great for anything from a buffet dessert, to a small party.
