Duration/Time: 5:10
INGREDIENTS:
- Brandy
- Orange flower water
- 750ml single cream
- Blackcurrant jam (jelly)
- Egg yolks from 4 large eggs (or 7 small)
- 5 sheets of gelatine, soaked in cold water
METHOD:
Take a quarter of the cream and heat it a little before adding the gelatine.
Whisk the egg yolks and add the remaining cold cream. Whisk again, then add the quarter of heated cream.
To thicken the mixture, place it in a pan and heat gently. Be careful not to curdle it.
Once the custard has cooled, add the brandy and a little orange flower water before stirring.
Line the mould with almond oil before pouring the custard in. Then, leave to chill until the custard has set.
To finish, gently heat a little blackcurrant jam to make a contrasting sauce.
Turn out the pudding from its mould and pour the sauce around the base of the custard pudding.
