Print Recipe

Servings 2

Equipment

1 mixing bowl
1 electric hand whisk (or manual)
1 small saucepan
Small wine glass or bowl to serve

Ingredients

200 g Christmas cake/pudding
200 ml double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
12 frozen cherries
3 ml vanilla essence
30 ml brandy optional
125 ml red wine
1 tsp chocolate shavings

Instructions

Place cherries, splash wine, half the icing sugar into a saucepan and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, then leave to cool.
Whisk cream, vanilla essence and remaining icing sugar until firm (but still a little loose, you don't want it really thick and overwhipped).
Finally, assemble your fool; crumble the Christmas cake/pudding into the base of your serving glasses, drizzle the brandy equally over both and drop in 3 cherries. Spoon the whipped cream over the top of each cherry/christmas pudding and then drop the remaining cherries over both drizzling the juice over the top, finish with a few grates of chocolate – done!
NOTE: if the cherry compote is too thick once it cools, simply add a tablespoon of hot water to it to loosen.
