Thank you for visiting my blog!

Over the last few years, I have been cooking for PureMalt staff, guests and events. I create every day food recipes for all to enjoy and often experiment with the addition of malt extracts in some of my dishes. East Lothian is a county full of great tasting and exciting local produce, which I will try to include in my food whenever possible.  It’s all about quality and flavour – hope you enjoy my recipes!

    Pour your double cream, milk, sugar and the Vanilla Bean Paste into a saucepan. Heat gently until it starts to simmer, stirring to stop it catching on the bottom of the pan and burning. Remove from heat.

    When its all dissolved and smooth, strain mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps, as there may be a few and you don't want them in your set dish.

    Pour mixture into your individual serving dishes, level out top and chill in fridge for at least 4 hours or even overnight.

    I topped these with raspberry compote which i made using 2 x punnets of raspberries, 2 x tablespoons Gullane Ripple sauce and 2 x tablespoons caster sugar. Place all ingredients in a bowl and gently warm until sugar has dissolved. I popped it all into microwave on high for a couple minutes then mashed with a potato masher to make a thick compote. Finally, garnished with some fresh mint.

    For this topping I decanted Panna Cotta and put spoonfuls of rhubarb over top and let juice run down the sides.

    Either way you end up with a delightful, creamy and fruity dessert.

     

    Lovely easy way to end a meal and can be prepared the day before and assembled just before devouring!

     

    Enjoy folks!
