Another Gluten-free cooking for kids recipe

Okay, for some this will be cheating, featuring a pudding that is naturally gluten free and requires very little effort or skill.  Well this one definately deserves it's place on the glutenfree4kids website as it is easy to make (takes literally minutes), is delicious and can be categorised as fairly healthy.  But the most compelling reason for sharing this with you is that my daughter Ruthie absolutely loves it!  The recipe comes from friends, Sarah and Greg Moore, but in fact this is not really a recipe, more a list of suggestions as there is no fixed amount and nothing to go wrong.  It's dead easy and makes the most delicious summer dessert.  Serve this pudding with some of those simple flapjacks for a really yummy gluten free kid friendly end of meal treat.  Oh and keep an eye on the grown ups as this pudding tends to disappear fast.  I've spotted one or two of these "grown ups"  looking rather shifty after they've polished off a few portions.

Yield

Serves 4

Preparation time

10 minutes

Ingredients

A mixture of summer berries, strawberries, raspberies, blackberries, blueberries etc
Yoghurt
Creme Fraiche
Soft Brown Sugar (dark or light )

Directions

Wash all the fruit and drain in a colander.  Hull the strawberries and cut in half if they are very large.  Put all of the fruit into a bowl.  In a separate bowl combine equal parts of yoghurt and creme fraiche.  Mix well to combine.  Now cover the fruit with the yoghurt and creme fraiche mixture until all the fruit is hidden and smooth out with a knife or palette knife.  Sprinkle an even layer of brown sugar over the yoghurt.  Allow this to sit (it will sit happily in the fridge overnight) for about half an hour.  The sugar on top will dissolve and will look like the top of a creme brule.  Serve into bowls.

Notes

You can see from the photo that I've used bananas as well as strawberries in this particular version.  If using bananas make sure the yoghurt topping covers them well so that they don't oxidise, ie turn brown.  And here's a picture of the very yummy topping going all gooey and scary.....it looks a bit like an alien rising out of your bowl, but don't worry it still tastes great.
