Ingredients
Shopping List
- 2 tbsp heaped agar flakes
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 225g (8oz) ricotta cheese or creme fraiche
- 200ml (7 fl oz) natural yoghurt
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 300g (10oz) frozen mixed berries or fresh berries
- 25g (1oz) caster sugar
Method
- Sprinkle the agar flakes over the water and lemon juice in a small pan. Soak for 5 minutes.
- Heat gently and simmer until it dissolves, then leave to cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Place the ricotta or creme fraiche, yoghurt and sugar in a food processor. Add the agar mixture and beat in gently.
- Spoon into little moulds or ramekins and chill for at least 3-4 hours, but preferably overnight.
- To make the compote, place the berries in a pan with the sugar over a very low heat. Gently simmer for 5 minutes until the berries begin to soften – this may take longer if you are using frozen berries. Chill until required.
- To serve, turn out of the moulds and accompany with the berry compote or spoon a little compote on top of the wine glasses.
