Ingredients
- 125 grams / 1 ¼ cups blackberries
- 14 grams / 1 tablespoon superfine/caster sugar
- 10 grams / ½ tablespoon honey
- 110 grams / 2 large eggs room temperature
- 18 grams / 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams / ⅔ cup superfine/caster sugar
- 300 milliliters / 1 ¼ cups - 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 12 grams / 2 tablespoons matcha powder
Instructions
- Preheat the grill in your oven to 220C/430F and line a baking tray.
- Place the blackberries and sugar in a bowl and stir together.
- Place on the prepared baking tray and drizzle over the honey.
- Place the eggs, yolk, vanilla extract and sugar in a bowl and place in a double boiler over simmering water.
- Beat until thick and pale, approximately 8 minutes with a hand mixer.
- In a separated bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks are just reached, sift the matcha powder into the cream and fold through until well combined.
- Spoon the matcha cream into the custard and fold through until well combined.
- Fold the blackberries through until just combined so you have a little swirly swirl still throughout the mix.
- Pour into a capacity dish and freeze for minimum 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Remove and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
- Spoon into serving bowls and serve.
- Dig in!
Notes
- Blackberries: Fresh or frozen work well here because we cook them down a little.
- Matcha: Plain unsweetened matcha powder is best here so you can control the full flavors here.
- Fruit replacement: Matcha has an earthy flavor so tart, yet sweet raspberries, cherries work well. Though strawberries, mangoes and peaches would also work well in lifting up the flavor.
