This is a very simple & quick dessert, very useful when you have those last-minute announced guests. Very classy and soft tastes at the same time. So, go on! Impress those guests!
First Step -- Get some yummy figs :)
Wash and strain them. Just cut the fig in four wedges. Caramelize it on a high flame with sugar. Continue cooking till the figs are beautifully caramalized but also havent turned mashy (they should retain their shapes).
Now for the clotted cream, I dont get off-the-shelf clotted cream where I stay. So, I decided to make my own clotted cream. After a lot of brainstorming and failures, I finally figured it out. Pour your Amul/Nestle cream in a bowl and double boil it. Firstly it will thin up, no panic here because slowly and steadily it will start thickening. This will take 15 mins or so along with your whisking from time to time.When it has reduced to your liking, just take it off the heat, add some sugar or honey (depending on what you like) and fresh lemon zest. And your clotted cream is ready to be served. You can prepare this in a batch & store it in the fridge and can serve it with practically anything. Your fruit pies/tarts, cakes, cupcakes...anything! A cream pack of 200 ml gives you clotted cream for around 3-4 servings.
Happy Eating !!
