  • 1 handful Fresh berries(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the heavy cream and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves.

  5. 5

    Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

  6. 6

    Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a jug to remove the zest for a smoother texture.

  8. 8

    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.

  9. 9
