Tips for a perfect result
-
Bake the sheets briefly, only until lightly golden – they will remain crisp and won’t harden.
-
Always combine the cream only after the pudding has cooled so it doesn’t curdle.
-
For a festive version, add a thin layer of jam (apricot, currant) or fresh fruit between the cream and the whipped cream.
