The grandma’s quick cream cup is delicious and is usually the cream used for the grandma’s cake, a delightful cream also to be served in a cup perhaps by adding some cookies or pieces of sponge cake as I did. If you wish, you can also add pieces of brioche or muffin that you have at home, soaking them with some liqueur of your taste if not intended for children, otherwise just soak with a little fruit juice and voilà, you have a ready dessert in no time that everyone at the table will enjoy.
