Bon voyage Kerry Haggard


Serves 6
3 & 1/2 leaves Costa fine leaf Gelatin
568ml pot Double cream
200ml semi skimmed milk
150g caster sugar
Dash of vanilla
tsp cardamom seeds - crushed
tsp rose cordial/syrup
tbsp dried rose petals
Figs or any soft fruit to decorate


1.Soak the gelatin for 4 minutes in a bowl of cold water

2.Place the cream, milk, cardamom, sugar, half rose petals, rose syrup, vanilla
in a heavy base saucepan and bring to simmer over a medium heat - until sugar has resolved.  
Squeeze the water from the gelatin and stir until dissolved.

3.Rinse with cold water 6 mini pudding moulds or espresso cups.
Pour this wonderfully scented mixture the bowls/cups equally through
a tea strainer.
Pop in the fridge for 2 - 3 hours

4.To serves dip the bowls one at a time into hot water for 10 seconds.
This will release them but also melt the surface to create its own sauce.
Serve on saucers with the rest of the rose petals and sliced fruit.
