Steps

  • Combine 150g of defrosted fruit, half the fresh berries, half the pudding sugar, and chopped basil in a bowl.
  • Blend the remaining frozen fruit and sugar in a food processor until pureed.
  • Strain the fruit puree through a fine sieve and set it aside.
  • Cut four bread circles to fit the bottom of the ramekins and four for the lids.
  • Slice the remaining bread into strips to line the sides of the ramekins.
  • Oil the ramekins and line them with cling film.
  • Dip small bread circles into the puree and place them at the bottom of each ramekin.
  • Line the sides with bread strips dipped in puree, overlapping them slightly.
  • Fill the center with the basil-infused fruit mixture and a drizzle of puree.
  • Dip the remaining bread lids in puree and place them on top, then chill in the fridge.
  • Simmer 200g sugar and 110ml water in a saucepan for 8 minutes until thickened.
  • Add the basil bunch to the syrup, remove from heat, and let it cool.
  • Blend the cooled syrup and basil in a food processor, then strain through muslin.
  • Turn the puddings onto plates and garnish with remaining puree, fresh berries, and basil syrup.
