Recipe Ingredients
250g blackberries
1 tbsp caster sugar
150g fresh custard
1 vanilla pod
142ml double cream
 
Recipe Method
Set aside a few blackberries for garnish. Put the remaining blackberries into a food processor along with the caster sugar and blend to a puree. Pass this through a sieve.

Put the custard into a bowl and stir in the blackberry puree. Using a sharp knife split the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Stir the seeds into the custard and blackberry mixture.

Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold into the custard mixture. Spoon the mixture into 4 serving glasses and chill. Serve with the reserved blackberries on top.
