In a sterile large jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the kefir and cream. Scrape the vanilla bean and add the seeds to the jar. Stir with a spoon and cover with a clean piece of cheesecloth. Keep in a warm place (preferably 22°C) overnight.

2

Remove the cheesecloth and pour into a saucepan with the caster sugar. Heat gently until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.

3

Place the berries and white sugar in a saucepan and simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the berries have softened. Spoon into the bottom of four small glasses.

Top with the kefir crème fraîche and more seasonal berries and refrigerate until chilled.
