Ingredients

Method

• 2 x 500 ml M&S Madagascan vanilla ice cream tubs

• Pink food colouring seasonal berries, to garnish

Method

Ingredients

Mix the ice cream and fruit mince, then return to the freezer. Preheat the oven to 150°C. Beat the egg whites at a high speed using an electric hand-mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly add the sugar while beating at a medium speed until thick and glossy.

Add the food colouring until the mixture is light pink.

Spoon the mixture onto a greased baking tray or baking mat into circles 6 cm in diameter.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and slightly chewy inside. Allow to cool.

Sandwich the ice-cream between the meringues and place on a platter. Garnish with berries and dust with icing sugar.
