Method

1. Whisk all the ingredients together for the coconut ice. Transfer to a freezer proof container and freeze for about 2-3 hours, until solid, stirring every 15 minutes or so.

2. Mix all of the syrup ingredients together in a saucepan and simmer over a gentle heat for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool in the fridge.

3. Combine the cooled syrup with the fruits, and leave for 20 minutes to marinate.

4. Dip the basil leaves lightly into the egg white, then carefully into the sugar. Leave to dry in a cool place.

5. To serve, spoon the fruits and syrup into a bowl, top with some coconut ice, sprinkle with icing sugar and decorate with crystallised basil leaves.
