I am presuming its plain fromage frais and not flavoured, might be a stupid question that, but only ever bought kids fromage frais

It's like a posh roasting/deep baking tray which you half fill with boiling water, so the ramekins are sitting in a 'bath'! I use my roasting tin. Ooh and a top tip to stop the bottoms burning (!) is to put a tea towel in the bottom of the tray (Thanks 'Come Dine With Me'!)

How many people is this recipe meant to serve? Just so I don't eat them all!

Hope that helps!

I made this yesterday, I think I overcooked it slightly (my oven is a bit dodgy) but it was really yummy and the OH has demanded that I make it on a regular basis!

I had mine with some raspberries and chopped banana on the side - gorgeous!
