Creamy Lavender Honey and Almond Pots
A rich, decadent and creamy pud with summer berries and a lovely crunch of almonds.
Ingredients
- 250 mL double cream
- 1 handful whole unpeeled almonds
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp lavender honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- a few red berries to decorate
Instructions
- Put the cream in a heavy based saucepan and bring to a very gentle boil.
- Crush the almonds with a pestle and mortar, or inside a freezer bag using a rolling pin.
- You’re looking for finely crushed, not powdered.
- Separate the eggs, keep the yolks & discard the whites.
- Add the honey, sugar & almonds to the cream.
- Turn down the heat and let it cool down a little before you add the egg yolk, you want to avoid scrambled eggs!
- Leave it on low heat and stir regularly for about 10 minutes, then pour into your ramekins and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours to set.
- Just before serving add a few crunchy almonds to the top of the ramequins and some red summer fruit for decoration.
- Works nicely with a shortbread biscuit on the side.
