Nectarine & Raspberry Gratin
This French gratin is a simple yet elegant treat, perfect for a quick dessert or afternoon tea. Ripe nectarine halves are filled with fresh raspberries, then lavishly drizzled with double cream and sprinkled with demerara sugar. A brief spell under the grill transforms the topping into a bubbling, golden crust. A final light dusting of sieved cocoa powder adds a sophisticated finish to this delightful fruit dish, which serves four.
