3. Melt the white chocolate, and coffee liqueur together in a bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.

4. Beat in the egg yolks and continue to whisk over the heat until the mixture is thick enough to leave ribbons trails when lifted on the spoon.

5. Whisk the double cream to stiff peaks.

6. Fold the cream and the honeycomb into the egg mixture.

7. Pour into moulds and freeze for about 2 hours.

8. Freeze the berries at the same time.
