Equipment
- Balloon Whisk
Ingredients
- 10 prunes
- 10 walnut halves
- ½ cup (100g) creme fraiche
- 1 heaped tbsp (15g) icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice + zest of half a lemon
Instructions
- If your prunes are extremely dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before stuffing.
- Stuff each prune with a walnut half. Arrange 5 walnut-stuffed prunes per portion in each small serving dish in a single layer.
- In a medium bowl, using a balloon whisk (or electric handheld mixer), beat the crème fraiche, lemon zest and icing sugar until well combined.
- Drizzle in the lemon juice and beat again immediately (the mixture may curdle slightly to start with but will resolve itself if you carry on beating).
- Spoon the lemon crème fraiche over the prunes, and decorate with extra lemon zest or chopped walnuts.
