An unusual and delicious dessert.
Start the night before you need to dessert!
Very gently warm the cream in a small pan, but do not allow it to boil.
Add the torn basil and cool, refrigerate overnight in the pan.
The next day beat the sugar with the egg yolks in a large heatproof bowl.
Reheat the cream, but do not boil, strain through a sieve onto the egg mixture,
mix the cornflour with a little water and stir this into the cream and egg mix.
Place the bowl containing the basil flavoured cream over a pan of boiling water and heat gently, stirring all the time,
until the cream has thickened. This will take about 10 minutes.
Divide the mixture between 4 individual ramekin dishes.
Sprinkle over the raspberries and leave to cool.
Either serve immediately or refrigerate until required.
