A luscious Danish summer dessert of stewed red berries thickened into a glossy pudding, served cold with a pool of heavy cream.

Ingredients

  • 300g strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 300g raspberries
  • 200g redcurrants
  • 150g sugar
  • 500ml water
  • 3 tbsp potato starch mixed with 3 tbsp cold water
  • 200ml heavy cream for serving

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine berries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 min until berries break down.
  2. 2 Strain half the mixture through a sieve for a smoother texture, return to pot (optional).
  3. 3 Stir the potato starch slurry into the simmering fruit. Cook 2 min until thickened and glossy.
  4. 4 Pour into serving bowls. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top to prevent a skin forming.
  5. 5 Chill at least 2 hours. Serve cold with a generous pour of heavy cream.
