Iced Summer Berries with Hot White Chocolate Sauce Recipe

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

175g white chocolate, chopped
150ml single cream
1 tsp lavender honey
450g frozen mixed summer berries

Method:

You will need to take the frozen summer berries out of the freezer about 10 minutes before you are due to serve them.

Combine the white chocolate, cream and honey in a heat-proof bowl. Set this over a pan of just-simmering water (ensure that the base of the bowl does not touch the water). Cook, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula until all the chocolate has melted and blended with the cream and honey.

Arrange the part-thawed berries on individual serving plates then pour over the white chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.
