Beat the egg, egg yolks and 50 grams of sugar in a bain-marie. Soak the gelatin in water. Then heat it over low heat until the gelatin has dissolved, and fold this through the egg mixture. Then fold in the rum and marasquin. Whip cream and fold this through the cooled egg mixture as well. Finally, add the fruit and macaroons into the mixture and spoon into a moistened pudding tin. Let the pudding rest in the refrigerator for 1 day to let the flavors work together.
