- Place Greek yoghurt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whip cream and vanilla until soft peks form.
- Fold whipped cream into yoghurt until smooth.
- Fold in two-thirds of the cooled berry puree, leaving visible swirls for a marbled effect.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and diced strawberries.
- Spoon mixture into silicone flower-shaped moulds, smoothing the tops.
- Drizzle over remaining berry puree and swirl lightly with a skewer.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

- Carefully unmould onto serving plates and garnish with frozen raspberries, redcurrants and small thyme sprigs.
TOP TIPS
- You can use small silicone chocolate or petit four moulds to make smaller blossoms as pictured or larger flower moulds to make one large blossom per person.
- No flower moulds? Freeze the mixture in a loaf tin and scoop to serve.
- For clean edges dip the outside of each mould briefly on warm water for a few seconds before turning out.
- If fresh redcurrants or cranberries are unavailable replace with a fresh berry of your choice.
- These can be made up to 1 week ahead.
