The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
2
In an oven-safe dish (casserole dish or individual ramekins), gently combine the Jersey cream, vanilla extract (if using), and sugar.
3
Cover the dish tightly with foil (or the lid if it has one). This prevents a skin from forming on top.
4
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 hours, or until the cream has thickened significantly and has a custard-like consistency. Check periodically; cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the dish used.
5
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before removing the foil. (Be careful, steam will escape.)
6
Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This will help it firm up further.
7
Before serving, top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, and chopped nuts (if using).

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use clotted cream instead of Jersey cream, but reduce the cooking time and keep a close watch so it doesn't burn.

If a skin forms on top during baking, gently remove it before serving.

The slow cooking process allows the cream to develop a deeper, richer flavor.

This can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
