Serves 6
500g (1lb) mixed frozen berries
For the sauce
150ml (¼ pint) double cream
150g (5oz) white chocolate, roughly chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp white rum (optional)
Put the frozen berries into the refrigerator 1 hour before serving so they soften but are still icy.
To make the sauce, put the cream, chocolate and vanilla into a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring continuously, until the chocolate has melted. Leave to cool for 2 minutes, then stir in the rum.
Divide the berries into 6 shallow bowls and pour over the hot sauce. Serve immediately before the fruits completely defrost.
