Plum Fool

A fool that is cool

Serves about 10

Ingredients

• 700g dessert plums, halved and stoned
• 3 tbsp clear honey
• 150ml unsweetened orange juice
• 300ml Roselle Supreme
• 400ml prepared custard
• Toasted flaked almonds, to decorate
• Icing sugar, to sprinkle

Method

• Put the prepared fruit and honey into a pan, pour over the orange juice, cover and cook gently until the plums are soft and very little juice remains.
• Remove from the heat, spoon into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Leave until cold - if the plums are very tart sweeten with a little extra honey.
• Pour the Roselle Supreme into a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold in the custard and plum purée.
• Spoon into individual serving glasses and chill until ready to use.
• Decorate with toasted almonds and sprinkle over a little icing sugar.

Add your own touch

Replace the plums with greengages, cherries or apricots. Try using chocolate custard. Spoon the mixture on to warmed pancakes or sweet waffles.
