Steps

  • Cook blackcurrants, sugar, and water in a pan for ten minutes until berries break down.
  • Strain the mixture through a sieve into a clean pan to form 300ml of purée.
  • Stir the crème de cassis into the juice and set aside.
  • Soften gelatine sheets in cold water for five minutes.
  • Heat cream and milk until almost simmering, then dissolve the squeezed gelatine into the mixture.
  • Combine the cream mixture with the blackcurrant mixture until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into a 1 litre mould and chill for 8 hours until set.
  • Dip the mould into hot water for five seconds to release the cream onto a plate.
  • Slice and serve with extra blackcurrants and cream.
