Blackberry, yoghurt and orange blossom fool

Dessert Easy
Serves 6
Prep 10 min
Cook 1 hr (including mamaceration)

This is an easy, simple summer pudding that’s quite quick to put together. Get ahead by making the crumble up to three days in advance (keep it in a well-sealed container). Feel free to swap the berries for another fruit, and use creme fraiche instead of yoghurt, if you like.

Ingredients

FOR THE BLACKBERRIES
540g blackberries, cut in half
45g caster sugar
1 tsp finely grated lime zest
1 tsp orange blossom water (optional)
FOR THE OAT CRUMBLE
50g jumbo oats, 30g blitzed finely in food processor
20g plain flour
40g wholemeal spelt flour (or regular wholemeal flour)
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
¾ tsp flaked sea salt
40g demerara sugar
45g unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp golden syrup
2 tsp double cream
FOR THE CREAM FILLING
255ml double cream
255g greek-style yoghurt
45g icing sugar
1½ tsp vanilla bean paste
2 tsp finely grated lime zest

Method

  1. Put the berries in a bowl with the sugar, lime zest and orange blossom water, if using, and leave to macerate for an hour while you get on with everything else.
  2. Heat the oven to 170C (150C fan)/325F/gas 3. Mix the first six ingredients for the crumble in a medium bowl. Pour over the melted butter, golden syrup and cream, and stir to combine. Transfer to a medium oven tray lined with greaseproof paper, then bake for 18 minutes, until golden. Leave to cool, then roughly break into a fine crumble with the back of a spoon.
  3. Meanwhile, make the filling. Put the cream, yoghurt, icing sugar and vanilla paste in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk for three to four minutes, until the cream mix has medium peaks that hold their shape (alternatively, whip it by hand). Fold in a teaspoon of the lime zest, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. To assemble the dish, spoon 30g of the cream mix into six small 9cm high x 6cm wide glasses. Top each one with 30g macerated berries and 10g oat crumble, then repeat the layering twice more, so you have three layers of each component, finishing with the crumble on top. Sprinkle over the remaining teaspoon of lime zest and serve at once.
