Prepare this dessert on the weekend and make Mondays that little bit sweeter with a start-of-the-week treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serves: 6 people
Prep time: 15 minutes (plus overnight refrigeration)
Cooking time: 15 minutes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

8 fresh medjool dates, pitted and chopped
\u00bd cup fresh orange juice
2 tbs lemon juice
5 large egg yolks
2 tbs caster sugar
600ml cream
1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caramel<\/strong>

\u00be cup caster sugar, extra
\u00bc cup water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh seasonal fruit, to serve<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Place dates in a small saucepan with the orange and lemon juices. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes or until the dates are soft. Spoon into 6 x \u00bd cup capacity ramekins.<\/li>
  2. Place egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl. Heat cream in a small saucepan until it just reaches boiling point. Pour cream into egg mixture while stirring.<\/li>
  3. Return mixture to the saucepan and cook while stirring for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. You will feel a change in the texture of the mixture and the cooking bubbles subside when it is ready.<\/li>
  4. Pour mixture on top of the date mixture. Place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight to set.<\/li>
  5. When ready to serve, make the caramel by placing extra sugar in a small saucepan. Add the water. Boil for 8 minutes or until golden.<\/li>
  6. Working quickly, pour a thin layer of caramel over the set custard mixture. Don’t make the layer too thick otherwise it will be hard to crack when eating.<\/li>
  7. Serve with fresh seasonal fruit.
