2. Line a sieve with muslin. Fill with the cream mixture and smooth the top. Set it over a bowl to catch the drips and leave to drain in the refrigerator overnight.

3. Turn the cream on to a large plate and remove the muslin. Mix the summer fruit with the crème de cassis and spoon around the cream.
