Ingredients

  • 250g pot mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • zest of a large orange
  • 2-4 tbsp icing sugar , to taste
  • 85g flaked almonds , toasted
  • 2 ripe nectarines , hlaved, stoned and thinly sliced
  • 100g strawberries , hulled and thinly sliced
  • 100g bar dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
  • 142ml carton of double cream
  • 25g unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Line 4 x 150ml ramekin dishes with cling film. Beat the mascarpone until soft and creamy, then mix in the vanilla extract, orange zest and icing sugar to taste. Fold in 50g/2oz of the almonds.
  • In the prepared ramekins, carefully layer up the cheese mixture with the nectarines and strawberries. Level the tops and chill for at least 1hr.
  • To make the sauce, put the chocolate, cream and butter in a small pan and stir over a low heat until melted. Don’t leave the pan as the chocolate will turn grainy if it gets too hot. Once melted, stir in 2 tbsp of hot (not boiling) water.
  • To serve, run round the ramekins with a sharp knife then unmould onto plates. Top with remaining almonds and drizzle with warm chocolate sauce.
