Ingredients
- 1 cup whipping cream or heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 vanilla bean seeds scraped (keep the pod for the roasted figs and cherries)
- 4 egg yolks
- ¼ cup caster sugar
- 300 g white chocolate chopped, 10 ½ ozs
- HONEY ROASTED FIGS AND CHERRIES:
- 2 figs cut into eighths
- 2 cups cherries pitted
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tspp olive oil
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ½ star anise
- ½ tsp nutmeg grated
Instructions
- Combine the milk, cream and vanilla bean seeds in a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a boil. While the cream mixture is coming to a boil whisk the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until pale and glossy. When the cream has come to the boil switch the mixer to it’s slowest speed and add the cream slowly so as not to curdle the eggs. When combined return the mixture to the saucepan and place over a medium low heat and stir continuously until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon thickly, around 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the chocolate and whisk until smooth. Divide the mixture between 6 small glasses or small ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours to set.
- While the pots de creme are setting make the honey roasted figs and cherries. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C), and line a small roasting pan with baking paper. Place the cherries, figs, oil, spices, honey and the remaining vanilla pod in the roasting pan and toss gently until coated. Roast for 15 minutes, or until the figs are softened. Allow to cool in the pan and place the fruit in a sealed container, along with any pan juices and the spices and refrigerate overnight. Remove the spices before serving.
- Serve the roasted fruit on top of the pots de creme.
