Frozen Summer Berries with a Warm White Chocolate Sauce x 4

Stay cool in the summer with Leith’s Head Chef Gary Parson’s Frozen Explosion Berry Delight with a White Chocolate sauce.

This pudding is so easy to make, just what you want on a warm summers evening outside with a glass of Champagne.

  • Fresh/Frozen Soft Berries
  • 125g Raspberries
  • 125g Blackberries
  • 125g Blueberries
  • 125g Strawberries (Small)
  • 125g White Chocolate
  • 125g Double Cream
  • 1 Pouch of “Your M&S” Berry Couli

When buying your berries, make sure that they are not damaged and remove any storks, place the berries into a clean bowl and pour some of the Couli over the berries mix carefully.

  1. Take your ramakins and give them a wipe inside with a damp cloth, arrange berries in the dishes, do not push them down.
  2. Wrap each dish with cling film and place them into the freezer for approximately 30 Minutes until they are frozen.
  3. Warm the double cream in a sauce pan, do not boil, add the white chocolate and stir until melted, keep the sauce warm.
  4. Remove berries from the freezer 20 minutes before serving, the berries will then start to thaw.
  5. Turn out onto a clean plate in the centre and drizzle the rest of the berry couli around the plate.
  6. Just as you are going to serve pour the white chocolate over the berries.

‘The taste sensation you will experience is a warm and soft frozen explosion over your tongue’.

Chef’s tip to freezing fruit!

Freezing Soft Fruits is worth doing, it keeps them fresh for longer and is great for having in your freezer for those hot summer days. You can go to the freezer, take a raspberry and pop it into your mouth and just let it melt on your tongue. When freezing the berries, put them on to a plate with kitchen paper, keep them apart so they freeze as one not as clump.
