INGREDIENTS

  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 40g butter
  • ½ cup of mixed seeds or nuts (pepitas, sunflour,
  • chia, almonds, cocoa nibs)
  • 90g rolled oats
  • 375ml water
  • 375ml milk
  • Maple syrup or honey to taste

Poached Pear

  • 2 pears, peeled and cut in half
  • 80g maple syrup or honey
  • 60ml water
  • 2 pieces of citrus peel
  • 1 vanilla bean split

Clotted Cream (Mascarpone)

  • 600ml cream

  • (or 1 tbs lemon juice)

METHOD

Clotted Cream

Step 1.
Mix the cream and diluted acid in a Solid steam tray and Steam at 85°C for 15 minutes. Cover with a clean tea towel and cool to room temperature before transferring to a clean container or jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. A thicker consistency can be achieved by hanging the cream in a muslin lined sieve over a bowl to release excess whey.

Heat the cream to a light simmer, 85°C on medium heat, Induction setting 6. Whisk in the diluted acid or lemon juice and cook while stirring until the cream thickens, coating the back of a spoon.

HINTS AND TIPS
