Yield: 6
Ingredients
- 300g simple sponge
- 480ml double cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or 1 vanilla bean
- 15g erythritol
- ¼ tsp pure stevia crystals
- ½ sheet gelatine (0.8g)
- 150g frozen summer fruits
- 30g almonds
- ½ sachet (12g) strawberry jelly powder
Instructions
- cut up thin slices of sponge and line the bottom of 6 dessert bowls.
- lay frozen fruits over sponge in each bowl, pressing them down into the sponge.
- to make the jelly, dissolve ½ sachet of powder in 150ml boiling hot water and then add 150ml cold water.
- stir well, pour jelly over fruit and sponge in each bowl; place in the fridge to set while you prepare the custard.
- put yolks, erythritol and stevia in a medium Pyrex bowl or similar; whisk until frothy, then set aside.
- fill a cup with cold water and immerse ½ sheet of gelatine; set aside to soften.
- in a medium saucepan, combine 300ml cream with vanilla paste or vanilla bean seeds; bring to just below simmering point (when small bubbles start forming around the edge), while whisking lightly.
- remove cream from heat and add it, one ladle at a time, to the egg yolk mix, whisking vigorously.
- return egg/cream mix to the saucepan; add the softened gelatine (after squeezing excess water out if it) and place on low heat, whisking lightly but continuously until it thickens (do not let it boil or it will curdle).
- transfer the custard to a heat-proof bowl; cover with cling film and leave to cool down.
- take the bowls of jelly/fruit/sponge out of the fridge and add a layer of cooled custard; put the bowls back in the fridge to set.
- whip 180ml double cream and spoon it into your 6 bowls.
- roast almonds for 5 mins and crush them with a meat hammer or similar tool.
- sprinkle crushed almonds over the top of each bowl and serve.
