Juice of 1½ limes and one large orange

250ml double cream (whipped till floppy)

Orange slices and mint leaves to decorate

For the Coulis

A pack of frozen raspberries (defrosted)

METHOD

Place the ginger, sugar and fruit juices in a small pan and dissolve over a gentle heat.

Bring to the boil and cook for two to three minutes then allow to cool.

Blitz the coulis ingredients in a food processor, sieve and keep cold in the fridge until ready to serve.
