150g caster sugar
6 egg yolks
½ vanilla pod
40g corn flour

Chantilly Cream
200ml double cream
40 icing sugar
splash of brandy

Blackberry syrup

50ml crème de Mure

  1. Put the milk on to boil then whisk together the rest of the ingredients until they turn lighter.
  2. When the milk boils slowly add 1/3 of the milk very slowly, whisking all the time.
  3. Transfer the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk and whisk together
  4. Heat very gently, stirring all the time. Be careful, as the mixture will spill if it gets too hot. When it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, take off the heat and chill the mix. Before use give the mix a beat to smooth.
