Strawberry and Balsamic Vinegar Pudding

Good Pair Days -
  • 250g strawberries, hulled
  • 1 tbsp grenadine
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp strawberry liqueur or vodka
  • 200ml single cream
  • 250g mascarpone
  • Lightly crush the strawberries in a bowl with a fork. Stir in the grenadine and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat and roast the peppercorns for a few minutes, then crush with a pestle and mortar.
  • In another bowl, mix together the caster sugar with the balsamic vinegar, vanilla extract, and the liqueur. Mix in the single cream, and then beat in the mascarpone. Take a martini glass or dessert glass, and spoon in some of the crushed strawberries. Add on top the cream mix, then sprinkle in a little peppercorn. Repeat until several layers are achieved, then garnish with some final splashes of strawberry and pepper. Wow!
