INGREDIENTS
| 4 | oz | Sound, ripe figs sliced |
| 4 | oz | Strawberries, halved or |
| whole | ||
| wild strawberries | ||
| 1 | Vanilla pod, split | |
| lengthways | ||
| 1/4 | pt | Double cream |
| 1/4 | pt | Crme fraîche |
| 4 | Egg yolks, size 4 | |
| 1 | T | Fructose, fruit sugar |
INSTRUCTIONS
Pile the fruit into and around the edges of 4 ramekin dishes. Place the vanilla pod in a pan. Stir in the two creams and heat to just below boiling point. Remove the pod. Beat the egg yolks and fructose together in a pan then gradually beat in the hot vanilla cream. Heat gently until the sauce has thickened. Pour the custard over the fruit in the ramekins and set aside to cool. When cool, chill for 2-3 hours until set. Sprinkle the puddings with a little demerara and grill under a preheated hot grill. The sugar should caramelize and, when allowed to cook, forms a hard protective coating to the top of the custard cream. Serve cold. Converted by MC_Buster. NOTES : Nothing beats the flavour of succullent ripe figs After a substantial main course, a light and fruity dessert is required. This variation of an old standard is always popular, so it's probably best to double the recipe and make 8 servings. Only use figs if they are prefectly ripe - if you can't get ripe figs use blackberries, blueberries or passion fruit. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
