Raspberry Gratin

I know this sounds really weird, but we made it in my cooking lab and it is SOOO delicious and pretty easy!
Makes 4 (large) servings

12 oz Raspberries (or other fruit)
Angel Food Cake (enough to cover bottom of pan)
8 oz Pastry cream (we used vanilla pudding, already made)
4 oz Whipped cream
1 oz sliced almonds
1 oz melted butter
Confectioner’s sugar (as needed)

1. Select a shallow gratin dish or other heatproof dish large enough to hold the fruit in a shallow layer (and 8x8 pan would probably be good)
2. Cover the bottom of dish about 3/8" thick with angel food cake.
3. Arrange the fruit on top of the cake layer
4. Combine the pastry cream (pudding) and whipped cream. Spread the mixture over the fruit to cover completely.
5. Mix the almonds and butter and sprinkle over the pastry cream. Dredge the top heavily with confectioner’s sugar.
6. Place under a broiler or in the top of a hot oven for a few minutes to brown the top. Serve hot.
