Frozen coffee almond cream desserts

With the weather heating up, lunch or dinner guests will appreciate these light frozen puddings to finish off a summery meal.

To serve 6, you’ll need:

• 2 teaspoons espresso coffee, made from good quality, freshly roasted and ground coffee beans
• 60ml milk
• 2 freerange gg whites
• 60g of icing sugar, sieved
• 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
• 60g finely chopped almonds
• 240ml double cream

What to do:

In a small heavy bottomed saucepan, gently heat the milk until almost boiling then add the coffee. Allow to stand for three or four minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the coffee grounds. Set the milk aside to cool.

Beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the icing sugar a little at a time while continuing to beat until the mixture stands up in stiff, shiny peaks. Gradually add the cold coffee-infused milk, almond extra and chopped almonds.

In a separate bowl, whisk the double cream until it stands up in stiff peaks, then carefully fold it into the egg mixture.

Spoon the mixture into individual, freezerproof bowls or ramekins and place in the freezer for three or four hours or overnight. To serve, remove from the freezer twenty minutes before needed. If liked, top with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a few extra almonds.
