Ingredients (12)

  • 3 titanium-strength gelatine leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups (375ml) pure (thin) cream
  • 1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
  • 1 cup (250ml) ginger beer
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • Sunflower oil, to shallow-fry
  • 8 wontons wrappers, halved diagonally
  • Icing sugar, to dust

Poached plums

  • 4 blood plums, halved
  • 2 strips finely pared orange zest
  • 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar

Method

  • 1.
    Ginger cream will need to chill in the fridge for at least 5 hours.
  • 2.
    Soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to soften.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, combine the cream, sugar, ginger beer and fresh and ground ginger in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Squeeze excess water from gelatine and add to cream mixture. Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl then chill for 1 hour or until starting to thicken. Remove from fridge, lightly whisk and pour into six 200ml capacity ramekins. Return to fridge for 4 hours or until set.
  • 4.
    For the poached plums, combine the plum, orange zest, sugar and 1 cup (250ml) water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until plums are just tender and syrup thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool, then place in the fridge to chill.
  • 5.
    Heat 1cm oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry wonton wrappers, in batches, turning, for 30 seconds or until crisp and golden. Remove and drain on paper towel. Dust with icing sugar.
  • 6.
    Serve creams garnished with wonton crisps and poached plums.
