A recipe to impress 🍓✨

Our Strawberries and Cream Baked Alaska recipe is the ideal dinner party treat! Made up of just 5 ingredients, this recipe is very affordable ❤️

Full recipe below 👇

Ingredients:
- 1l clotted cream ice cream
- 150g strawberries, roughly chopped
- 90g self-raising flour
- 3 egg whites
- 250g caster sugar

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 165°c (fan)
2. Set 120g of ice cream to one side for the sponge base
3. Place the remaining ice cream in the large mixing bowl and mix it with the spoon to soften it up. Stir in the chopped strawberries before spooning the whole mixture into the cling film lined bowl. Place the whole thing (in the bowl) in the freezer while you make the sponge base
4. To make the sponge base, pour the 120g of reserved ice cream (this should be melted by this stage) into the large mixing bowl and combine with the self-raising flour and 50g of the caster sugar until a smooth batter is formed. Pour the batter into the lined cake tin and bake for 20 minutes until springy to touch. Allow to cool completely
5. When the sponge is cool, you’re ready to make the meringue. At this stage you should also heat your oven to the maximum temperature it will reach. Pour the egg whites and remaining 200g of caster sugar into the (clean) large mixing bowl and place the whole thing over a saucepan of simmering water
6. Whisk the egg whites and sugar together either by hand or with an electric whisk. You want to see the steam against the outside of the bowl dissolve the sugar into the egg whites. This will take around 5 minutes, and you can tell when this is done when you can no longer feel grains of sugar when you rub the mixture between two fingers. (It will get warm, so be careful)
7. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and whisk up the meringue (again, by hand or electric hand mixer) until thick and glossy and stiff peaks are formed when you lift the whisk from the mixture
8. To assemble, place the sponge layer on your heatproof serving plate, remove the ice cream dome from the bowl and place on top. Spread the meringue all over, creating peaks and swirls and then bake in the oven for 3-4 minutes, until the meringue just starts to brown
9. Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice with a hot knife to serve

Beat the Monday blues with a homemade loaf 🍞

Our affordable Olive & Rosemary Focaccia recipe is packed with flavour and nutrients 🫒

Ingredients:
- 1 packet dried yeast, 7g
- 1 tsp sugar
- 400ml warm water
- 550g strong bread flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried or fresh rosemary, chopped
- flaky salt
- 120g pitted olives

Method:
1. In a jug, measure out the warm water, add the sugar and dried yeast, stir, and set to one side
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the centre, pour in the liquid and bring together with the fork to form a loose dough, making sure there are no pockets of dry flour left
3. Wipe out the jug and mix the olive oil and rosemary together. Pour half into a baking tin and use your fingers to completely grease the base and sides. Scrape the dough into the greased tin
4. Push the dough out to the corners of the tin with your fingertips to create an even layer. Cover with a damp tea towel or cling film and leave in a warm place to prove for at least an hour
5. Once proved, heat the oven to 180°C (fan), pour the remaining oil over the top of the dough and poke holes all over with your fingertips, then push the olives into the cavities
6. Bake for 35-40 mins, until golden on top. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, run a knife around the edge to loosen if necessary, lift the focaccia out, slice and serve

7. Poke the loaf all over with the fork and drizzle with the syrup from the saucepan. You can do this while the loaf is still warm
8. When the loaf is completely cool, remove from the tin.
9. Wipe clean your mixing bowl and then use it to combine the 3 tbsp of reserved syrup with the icing sugar to make a glaze and pour over the top of your loaf, slightly pushing it down the sides with the end of a spoon to create a drip effect

- 1 egg
- 300g plain flour
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 300g white chocolate, roughly chopped

3. Add the egg and mix until combined, before adding the flour, bicarbonate and salt. Mix well with your hands. When the dough starts to come together, add 150g chopped white chocolate and 50g of chopped pistachios. Bring together to form a ball of dough
4. Roll the dough into 12 evenly sized balls and place on the lined baking tray, 6 at a time as the cookies need space to spread as they bake

6. When the cookies are cool, sandwich two together with a generous scoop of ice cream and decorate as you wish – melt the remaining white chocolate in the microwave in 10 second increments (stirring between each to be careful that it doesn’t burn) and dip them, roll them in the remaining chopped pistachios, do both or leave plain!
