Ingredients

(6 oz) Sugar and Crumbs Velvet Vanilla Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar (or any flavour of your choice)
175g (6 oz) Caster Sugar
600ml Double Cream
3 sheets Leaf Gelatine 
284ml Buttermilk 

Optional Orange Segments / mixed berries

You will need 6 ramekins or small round oven proof pots to make these individual desserts.

Instructions

1. Take 150g of the caster sugar and place this in a pan over a medium heat. Cook the sugar until dissolved stirring until it becomes a light caramel colour.

2. Carefully divide the mix between your 6 pots, swirl the pot so the caramel covers the sides and set aside.

3. Soak the gelatine leaves in very cold water to soften for approximately 10 minutes.

4. Place the cream, remaining caster sugar and all the icing sugar into a clean pan and set over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and then bring to a simmer.

5. Once at the simmering stage, remove from the heat, drain the gelatine leaves over a sieve then add them to the cream mixture. Stir to dissolve and then leave to cool.

6. When luke warm add the buttermilk and stir in. Sieve everything into a jug.

7. Pour the mix equally between your 6 caramel soaked pots and place in the fridge for 3 hours or as long as you can.  You can make the day before and leave in the fridge to set fully.

8. Just before serving remove from the fridge and dip the bottom of each pot into a bowl of hot water to loosen the sides. Turn out onto your serving plate by placing the plate on top of the pot and flipping over carefully allowing the pudding to drop out.

Optional decoration

Add 50g of caster sugar to a pan and stir over a medium heat until dissolved and caramel coloured. Add in the orange segments and swirl in the caramel before placing on top of your puddings.

Alternatively add a few mixed berries to your plate and sprinkle with some vanilla icing sugar just before serving.
