frozen berries with white chocolate sauce

This frozen berries with white chocolate sauce is a showstopper dessert, influenced by the one originally served at Le Caprice in London (where it was apparently Princess Diana’s favourite dessert). Since then it has cropped up on menus all over England and with good reason. It is easy to make mid-week, and is something my children make with me as a treat, but is also a great one for entertaining too.

The recipe is so easy to remember, equal parts of cream and chocolate and roughly a handful of berries per person. It is also a really easy dessert to take to someones house if you’ve offered to bring something but haven’t any time to prep it ahead. Just pack your jug, spatula, whisk then grab the ingredients on the way to their house and you’re good to go.

I recommend serving this on individual plates and then giving everyone the jug of chocolate sauce to pour over by themselves. This needs to be eaten straight away to fully appreciate the combination of frozen berries, hot sauce and how the sauce thickens as it hits the cold of the berries.
