How it's done
Custard
In a pan, whisk together the Moscato and all the other ingredients up to and including the eggs, bring to just below the boil over a medium heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture thickens, remove the pan from the heat, continue to whisk for approx. 2 mins. Pour the custard into a bowl through a sieve, lay cling film directly on top of the custard, leave to cool and chill for approx. 2 hrs.
Crumble
Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter, rub together using your hands to form a crumbly mixture. Add the almonds, mix. Transfer the crumble to a warm non-stick frying pan, toast over a medium heat for approx. 5 mins., stirring occasionally, then leave to cool.
Charcoal/gas/electric grill
Place the blackberries in the grill tray, cover the grill tray. With the lid down, grill over/on a medium heat (approx. 200 °C) for approx. 8 mins.
To serve
Stir the custard until smooth, fold in half of the whipped cream, serve with the remainder of the cream. Top with the blackberries, crumble and lemon zest.
