Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
2-3 punnets of raspberries, hulled
8 crisp biscuits, I used ginger and hazelnut biscotti

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons brown sugar
icing sugar for dusting
4 shallow ovenproof baking dishes
METHOD
Preheat the grill to its highest setting.
Divide the raspberries between the baking dishes and place on a flat baking tray.
Break up the biscuits and dot between the raspberries. Whisk the sour cream, egg yolks and vanilla in a bowl until smooth then spoon over the berries, some of the berries may not be covered. Press the brown sugar through a sieve over the top so each has an even layer of sugar.
Place under the grill for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar has caramelised. Serve warm dusted with icing sugar.
