One of the easiest, and yummiest puds i,ve ever made was as follows: For four good sized portions.

one large tub of double cream

2 large bars of white choc

either a punnet of fresh raspberries , or a bag of frozen raspberries, using as many of them as you like.

icing sugar to taste.

Method

Melt the choc, whip the cream until firm, mix together.

Add the raspberries, after mashing to reduce the size to enable them to mix the the other ingredients, although you could leave some largish if you like.

Add some icing sugar at this stage if it isn't sweet enough for your taste.

Decant, (word of the day!) into glasses (not spectacles) or dishes of your choice.

Chill for a few hours to allow the mixture to firm up.

Serve with a couple of whole raspberries and a sprig of mint and a dash of icing sugar sprinkled on top.

Great for valantines day... or even better to scoff all on your own!!

Yum!

For a lower fat version use low fat natural yoghurt or creme fraiche and a smaller amount of white chocolate.

mmm I think that would work just as well. The creme fraiche or yog would prob compliment the tartness of the raspberry.

It's a bit like one of those dishes where I think you could experiment with a number of options

It would be quite nice with layers of crumbled digestive biscuit for added texture.

Last time I made it I threw in some white choc chips before chilling, although not sure if that added to it or just got lost in the mix. I think it needed to be more of a contrasting flavour maybe milk or dark chips?

I'm not sure if the chips would work....

In fairness I don't think they did work, but of course I made sure that I completed my experiment by eating it all up to be able to give a full and comprehensive review
