About

A hot pudding on a menu is always a winner and the combination of a hot, light sponge saturated with the sweet tartness of blackberries puts this one in the serious comfort zone. It’s what I call a good old-fashioned dessert dressed up in nineties style.

Method

Make the vanilla custard as instructed, then press plastic film down onto the surface to prevent a skin forming and set aside.
To make the blackberry sauce, purée 250 g of the blackberries with the sugar syrup and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. Pass the sauce through a fine-meshed sieve and discard the solids. Keep refrigerated until ready to use
