My new favourite dessert recipe! Really easy to make and delicious. I leave mine in for 30 mins, also found only makes 6 in my ramekins. Bought a small kitchen blow torch on line to caramelise top - perfect. You could also make day before and put top on a few hours before serving.

I couldn't believe how easy these were to make, and its great that they can be made in advance. I received lots of compliments

I decided to make this for the first time after having had it in a restaurant with shortbread fingers and fruit. It exceeded my expectations and the oven timings were spot on for my fan oven. In summary it was delicious and relatively easy to make so i will be making it again! 5 stars *****
