Berried treasure

You will need:

• ¾ oz raspberries
• ¾ oz strawberries, cut into quarters
• ¾ oz cherries, pitted
• ¾ oz blueberries
• 1 scoop of ice cream or 2 tbsp fromage frais
• icing sugar, to dust
• mint leaves, to decorate

For the fruit coulis

• 15 ¾ oz raspberries
• 3 ½ oz icing sugar and 3 ½ fl oz water, heated then sieved
• 2 tbsp double cream

Method

1. To make the coulis, heat the sugar in a saucepan with the water until the sugar has dissolved. Then add the raspberries to the pan and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until they’re soft.
2. When the coulis has cooled slightly, blend it in a food processor and then sieve it to make a smooth sauce.
3. Next, put the ice cream or fromage frais onto a serving plate and pile the berries on top to cover the 'treasure'.
4. Sieve the icing sugar over the berries and the plate and decorate with a sprig of mint.
5. Pour the fruit coulis around the berries and then put half a tablespoon of double cream at even intervals around the fruit. Finally, drag a pointed knife through the cream and coulis to make a pattern.
