This is a favourite recipe of one of our customers, Roberta Walker. It makes an excellent dinner party pudding and looks stunning.
To prepare the creams
- Pre-heat your oven to 140/150C, if fan assisted, or 180C if a conventional oven. Put 6 ramekin dishes ready in a roasting tray, or similar, for later.
- Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Continue to whisk and add in the wine, followed by cream.
- Pour the mixture through a sieve and then divide equally between ramekin dishes. Dust the tops of the mixture lightly with nutmeg.
- Pour hot water into the roasting dish to come 2/3 of the way up the side of the ramekin dishes. Bake for 50-60 minutes until just set and slightly wobbly.
- Remove and chill.
For the topping:
Place the redcurrants and sugar in a small saucepan and simmer gently for 5-10 minutes until soft. Press the fruit through a sieve and chill.
To serve:
Either place the redcurrant sauce on top of the creams or by the side of the dishes on a plate. Decorate with whole redcurrants.
