This is our take on a retro classic dessert, which makes for a showstopping finale at dinner parties as it is served individually, making your guests feel very special when you present them with one each! You can prepare everything in advance, then when ready to serve, either quickly brown with a blowtorch or place in a pre-heated oven (set at 220°C) for 10 minutes.
