Blackberry Surprise
Ingredients
- 1 lb blackberries
- 3 teaspoons clear honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons powdered gelatine
- 6 oz natural low-fat yogurt
- 4 Petit Suisse cheeses
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons port
- 1 tablespoon hazelnuts
- 2 slivers lemon rind chopped
Instructions
- Place half the blackberries in a heavy-based saucepan over a gentle heat and stir until softened.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of the honey. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and sprinkle in the gelatine, stirring well to dissolve. Rub through a sieve, then leave the mixture to cool and thicken.
- Combine the yogurt and Petit Suisse cheeses and stir in the cooled blackberry puree. Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold in.
- Reserve a few whole blackberries for decoration. Divide the remainder between six tall wineglasses and pour 1 teaspoon of port into each. Top up with the blackberry mixture and chill.
- Just before serving, dry-fry the hazelnuts with the lemon rind. When evenly coloured, chop them and sprinkle a little over each glass. Decorate with the remaining berries and honey.
- Both cultivated and wild blackberries freeze extremely well, just put the freshly picked fruit in a rigid plastic container and freeze.
