Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 160°C. Lightly spray four 1-cup capacity ovenproof dishes with oil. Place on a baking tray.

2 In a saucepan place 1 cup frozen berries and 2 teaspoons water. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 3–4 minutes or until softened. Remove pan from heat. Using the back of a spoon, mash until thick and pulpy. Set aside for 10 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, into a large mixing bowl, sift flour. Add sugar and mix to combine. Make a well in the centre. In a small bowl, place spread, milk, egg and vanilla, and whisk to combine. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir to combine.

4 Place remaining frozen berries and cornflour in another bowl and toss to coat. Divide coated berries among prepared dishes. Top with vanilla pudding mixture, then half the fresh berries. Bake for 25–30 minutes until firm to touch.

5 Serve puddings topped with vanilla ice-cream and remaining fresh berries.

HFG tip

For eye-catching puddings, place a thin lemon slice on top of each one for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
