This dessert’s big creamy filling provides a background for its high summer flavours. Taken from Pip McCormac's recipe book The Herb and Flower Cookbook, the taste of the honeysuckle flowers is quite specific, so if you’re substituting them for any of his suggestions such as mint, just fold the replacement into the cream with the cinnamon rather than making a syrup.
