Elderflower ice with blueberry and coconut
“I love the flavour of elderflower and I still remember the first time I tasted it in Switzerland. One of my jobs was to help our Austrian pastry chef pick and sort a whole lot of elderflowers to make fresh cordial. There were many hours spent on this repetitive job alongside someone who didn’t really talk much – but well worth it for the result.”

Ingredients

  • 100 ml coconut cream, whisked until smooth, then chilled
  • To serve: blueberries and dried shaved coconut
Elderflower ice
  • 200 gm elderflower cordial (see note)
  • 500 gm crushed ice
