Our indulgent, hand-prepared puddings are frozen and need defrosting for a minimum of 5 hours at room temperature (please check the pack)
Liz’s 3 golden rules of frozen puddings:
Liz Dove has been our pudding maestro since the beginning of COOK, so there's not much she doesn't know about frozen puddings. These are her 3 golden rules:
- Remove all packaging when frozen: Always take your pud out of its box and put it on your serving plate while it’s still frozen.
- Serve at the correct temperature. Some puds are best served at room temperature. Others are best chilled (any cheesecake). Check the instructions on the packaging.
- Slice with a hot knife. Dip your knife in hot water to get a lovely, smooth slice.
What Is A Vacherin?
- Vacherin is a French meringue gateau. It shares the same name as a very delicious French mountain cheese. Not entirely clear why they share the name!
How We Make It At Our Kitchen
- The vacherin is made of three layers of crisp meringue, two hazelnut and one chocolate
- Cream and chocolate sauce is layered between them, then coated with more cream, chocolate and salted caramel
- Then the finishing touch: dark chocolate shards on top
