Ingredients

For the pudding

2 gelatine leaves

250ml double cream

250ml whole milk

60g honey

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp rose water

To serve

1 pomegranate, halved with seeds extracted

4 small mint leaves

4 Medjool dates

Method

1. To make the pudding, soak the gelatine in a small bowl of cold water for 10 minutes.

2. Combine the cream, milk and honey in a pan, bring to the boil over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the honey. Remove from the heat and set aside. 

3. Remove the gelatine from the water, squeezing out the excess water before adding to the hot cream along with the lemon juice and rose water.

4. Whisk gently but thoroughly until the gelatine has dissolved completely. Divide the mixture between four serving pots.

5. Cover with cling film and chill until set, 4 hours.

6. To serve, remove the puddings from the fridge and top with pomegranate seeds and a mint leaf. Serve with the Medjool dates on the side.
