  • 6 egg yolks
  • 250g of clotted cream

Return the mixture to the pan and cook gently until thick. Add the clotted cream and mix in well, then remove from the heat and chill. Churn in an ice cream machine and place in the freezer until needed
3
For the cherry soufflé recipe, bring the purée and the sugar to the boil, add the corn flour mixture and allow to thicken. Pass through a sieve and chill
4
To prepare the soufflé ramekins start by melting the butter and brushing two thin coats of butter ion the sides of the ramekins. Then dust with cocoa powder place in the fridge. Make sure the cocoa powder is evenly covering the sides of the ramekin as this will help the cherry soufflés rise

To make the cocoa tuile, preheat the oven to 175°C/Gas mark 3 ½. In a food processor blend together the butter and sugar until very smooth. Add the cocoa and flour and mix well. Add the orange juice and mix until smooth and shiny

Spread the mixture over a non-stick silicone baking mat and place on a baking tray. Bake for 12 minutes until dry. Then, remove from the oven, cool and break into shards
8
To finish the cherry soufflés, take 4 large tablespoons of the base mixture and place in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the caster sugar to stiff peaks but not dry, fold into the base mix and add the cherry pieces

Divide this mixture between the coated ramekins and place in a 180°C/Gas mark 4 oven for 8 minutes until well risen
