Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare a confectioner's custard: pour 250 ml Milk into a pan, add the ½ vanilla pod and bring to the boil.

As soon as the milk boils, add the zest of 1 lime. Remove from the heat, cover and leave to infuse 10 minutes.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Prepare the custard by mixing together 50 g caster sugar and 3 egg yolks, then add 20 g cornflour and mix thoroughly.

Pour the hot milk onto this mixture and stir constantly until thoroughly mixed. Then pour it back into the pan through a sieve to remove the vanilla and lime zest.

Stage 3 - 7 min.

Cook as for a normal confectioner's custard, then stand the pan to cool in cold water, stirring occasionally to avoid a skin forming.

When the custard is still warm, add the juice of 1 lime and 4 drops food colouring (green), and beat vigourously.

Leave to cool completely, still with the pan in cold water.

Stage 4 - 10 min.

Meanwhile, prepare or thaw 300 ml blackcurrant coulis, which should be completely smooth in texture.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Mix 20 g caster sugar with 2 g agar-agar. This is to help the agar-agar blend more easily with the syrup.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Bring 200 ml sugar syrup to a simmer and tip in the mixture of sugar and agar-agar while beating vigourously to mix.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Then pour the hot syrup into the blackcurrant coulis and mix well.

You can use a hand-mixer briefly for this if you wish, to ensure thorough mixing.

Stage 8 - 7 min.

Begin assembling the verrines by putting a layer of cold (or barely warm) confectioner's custard in bottom of each glass. Use a forcing bag if possible, as this makes the job much easier.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

Pour a layer of blackcurrant coulis on top while this is still warm and sufficiently runny.

Stage 10 - 7 min.

Finish with a layer of whipped cream (chantilly), which you can dust with a little matcha green tea powder.

Remarks

If you wish to prepare the dessert in advance, this is not a problem for the 2 layers of lime and blackcurrant, but it's wise to prepare the whipped cream at the last minute; it's always better.

And to drink?

A slightly sweet wine, such as a white Côtes de Gascogne, like "Gros Manseng" from the Cassagnoles estate.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
