TIP: If you're in a hurry, pop your ramekins or glasses in the fridge now.

a) Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) To make the ginger biscuit crumb, add to a large bowl the flour, butter, ginger puree, remaining sugar and the oil for the flour (see pantry for amount). Use your fingers to rub everything together until it looks like sticky breadcrumbs.

c) Spread the crumb mixture in an even layer on a baking tray. Bake until golden, 9-11 mins, then remove from the oven and allow to cool. TIP: Toss halfway through baking to ensure an even golden colour.

d) When you're ready to eat, remove the possets from your fridge and top with the ginger biscuit crumb to finish.

Enjoy!
