Tips and questions

Can I use agar-agar instead of gelatine?: Yes, for a vegetarian version: about 2 g of agar powder for this amount, boiled with the cream for 2 minutes. It sets firmer and faster.
Why didn’t it set?: The gelatine was not fully dissolved or the cream boiled hard after adding it. Stir it into hot, not boiling, cream and chill at least 4 hours.
How far ahead can I make it?: Up to 3 days ahead, covered in the fridge. Keep the berry sauce separate and add it when serving.
