Ingredients
1 litre light cream (half milk/half cream)
4 tbsp sugar
5-6 fresh fig leaves, grilled over a gas flame for 1-2 minutes
3 sheets of gelatine
1 egg yolk
4 tbsp of milk
Method
Put the cream, sugar and fig leaves into a saucepan over a low heat, stirring often until the liquid comes almost to boiling point. Remove from the heat.
Put the sheets of gelatine into a bowl and cover with cold water. Allow to sit for a few minutes to soften.
Remove the gelatine sheets from the water (discard the water). Squeeze out the excess water. Add the softened gelatine sheets to the fig flavoured cream and sugar, stir for a few minutes until dissolved.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the milk. Whisk in the fig flavoured cream and sugar mixture. Stir very well.
Pour the mixture into individual bowls and leave to cool in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours or until set.
Serve on fresh fig leaves with candied figs.
