3 eggs
1 litre milk

Finely crush the biscuits and mix in the butter. Line the base of the serving dish evenly with the biscuit mixture.
Put the dish in the freezer to set for 10 mins, then transfer it to the fridge.

Do this for 5-6 mins ensuring it does not cook.
In another pan, heat the milk with the vanilla pod for 5-6 mins.
Put the milk aside to cool, letting the vanilla flavour infuse with the milk.
Remove the vanilla pod and stir the milk into the yolk mixture.
Heat for 5 minutes on a low flame, ensuring it does not cook.
To make the meringue, beat the egg whites with 2 tbsp of sugar till absolutely stiff.
Decorate the biscuit base with fresh strawberries and grapes.
Gently pour the custard over the fruit and top it with the meringue. Bake the dessert in the oven for 10-15 mins at 180 C.
