This week I’ll be sharing five wonderful strawberry-based recipes. This recipe is delicious and easy to make.
What you need
300ml double cream
1 vanilla pod split and seeds scraped out
225g strawberries
75g caster sugar
4 large egg yolks
Good measure of Cointreau
What you do
Pre-heat your oven at 140C degrees/Gas Mark 1½.
Place the cream, vanilla pod and seeds in a pan and bring to the boil. Meanwhile place the remaining ingredients in a liquidiser and blend well. Keeping the machine running slowly pour in the hot cream.
Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the strawberries, vanilla pod and seeds and pour into small ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a tray of hot water and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes until only just set and wobbly. Remove and chill for at least 3-4 hours before serving with softly whipped cream and strawberries.
Tomorrow, a recipe for Strawberry and Balsamic Jam.
