Cooking Method:

Lay the skin of the orange down on a flat metal tray, pore side facing up. Scorch them using a mini gas gun or hold over a fame using a tong until turning a light black colour.

Boil one & a half pints of the cream with the vanilla & burnt orange skin.

Add in the orange juice.

Let it simmer and reduce by 50%.

Soak the gelatine sheets in milk for 15minutes.

Take out the gelatine & boil the milk.

Whisk back in the gelatine until it has completely dissolved.

Pour the milk into the cream mix and strain through to allow cool.

Whisk up the remaining half a pint of cream with the icing sugar & Cointreau until a stiff peak.

Fold into the cooled mixture.

Pour into the glasses dividing the mixture evenly.

Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.

Leaving the raspberries whole, add half of them but cutting the strawberries into four & sprinkle with caster sugar and allow to cook out a little in a saucepan so there is a very textured coulis / jam topping, fold in the remaining raspberries to the mix. Cool it down and then top each glass with a layer of berries.

Using a peeler, shave the white chocolate over each of the glasses.

Add a sprig of mint for colour to finish each glass.
