Impressive Thai-inspired dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 3 titanium-strength gelatine leaves
  • 375ml cream
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 250ml ginger beer
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1.25 gm ground ginger
  • Sunflower oil, to shallow-fry
  • 8 wontons wrappers, halved diagonally
  • Icing sugar, to dust
  • 4 blood plums, halved
  • 2 strips finely pared orange zest
  • 110g caster sugar
Instructions:
  • Soak the gelatin in a cold water bath for 5 minutes to soften.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, sugar, ginger beer, fresh and ground ginger. Bring to a simmer. Squeeze excess water from gelatin and add to the mixture. Strain through a sieve into a bowl. Chill for 1 hour until slightly thickened. Lightly whisk, pour into six 200ml ramekins, and chill for 4 hours to set. For the poached plums, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine plums, orange zest, sugar, and 1 cup water. Simmer until plums are tender and syrup thickens, about 5 minutes. Cool in the fridge before serving.
  • In a small saucepan, heat a layer of oil over medium-high heat. Fry wonton wrappers in batches, turning, until they are crisp and golden, about 30 seconds per batch. Remove and let drain on a paper towel, then dust with icing sugar.
  • Garnish creams with wonton crisps and poached plums before serving.
