Ingredients

  • Vanilla icecream
  • 500 g Raspberries
  • 1 Tbsp White Sugar
  • Double Cream

Instructions

Raspberry Preparation:

  • Put the raspberries in a small saucepan with the sugar, saving a few for decoration. Heat them until they start to boil and gently mash them with the back of a spoon or fork.

Ice-cream Preparation:

  • Either use a good commercial vanilla ice-cream, or make it yourself if you own an ice-cream maker. I make an easy vanilla ice-cream with 3/4 cup white sugar, 2 cups cream, 1 cup milk and 1/2 tsp vanilla essence. Mix these ingredients together and churn them in the ice-cream maker.

Cream Preparation:

  • Whip the cream until it becomes thick.

Dessert Assembly:

  • Put a scoop of ice-cream in each bowl.
  • Spoon hot raspberry sauce around the scoop.
  • Add a spoonful or two of whipped cream.
  • Scatter with fresh raspberries.
