Ingredients

  • 225 g fromage blanc (smooth, low-fat, unripened fresh cheese)
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 30 g corn flour
  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 200 g almond meal
  • 200 g blackcurrants, fresh or frozen (if not available, use blackberries)
  • icing sugar for dusting
  • 6 scoops vanilla ice-cream (or other flavour)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160°C.

In a large bowl mix the fromage blanc with the egg yolks and corn flour. Stir in the caster sugar and almond meal.  Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe into individual porcelain baking dishes.

Dot the top with blackcurrants/blackberries and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool a little.

Dust with icing sugar and serve with vanilla ice-cream.
