Instructions

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.
