Lemon creams with blackberries recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 gelatine leaves
  • 425ml milk
  • 1large lemon, grated zest and juice
  • 425ml double or whipping cream
  • 100g caster sugar, plus 1 tbsp
  • 300g blackberry
  • 2 tbsp Crème de Mûre Crème de Cassis, optional

Method

  • Put the gelatine leaves in a bowl of ice-cold water for 10 mins to soften. Put the milk, lemon zest, cream and sugar in a pan then heat until it starts to bubble gently. Simmer for 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat, take the gelatine out of the water, shaking off any excess and add to the pan, stirring until the gelatine has dissolved.

  • Leave to cool, then stir again and pour into 6 ramekins, cups or individual pudding basins. Put on a tray in the fridge overnight to set.

  • Mix the blackberries with 1 tbsp each of lemon juice and sugar, then stir in the crème de mûre, if using.

  • Loosen the edges of the creams with the tip of a small knife, then turn them onto serving plates, and scatter around the blackberries and sauce.
