Before Chayne became pregnant we used a have a beer with our tea most nights but that's had to stop now. You would have thought that I would have lost weight in the last few months but her taste for beer has been replaced by a fondness for puddings! After finding some tall glasses at the back of the cupboard the other day, I decided to try making a knickerbocker glory but I didn't realise how massive they were until I filled them with raspberry compote, ice cream, raspberry sauce and squirty cream. No wonder I haven't lost any weight! This is scandalously bad for you and you could probably share one. We didn't.
Ingredients
210g raspberries
20g caster sugar
1 tbsp icing sugar
Vanilla ice cream (We used Carte D'Or)
Squirty cream
Recipe
1) Start by making the raspberry compote. Put 100g of raspberries in a small saucepan with the caster sugar and cook over a high heat until the raspberries start to break up. Remove from the heat and put the compote into a bowl.
2) Now for the raspberry sauce. Blend 100g of raspberries with the icing sugar and 1 tbsp water. Set aside.
3) Put a spoonful of the compote in the bottom of each tall glass. Then add a scoop of ice cream followed by a spoonful of raspberry sauce. Repeat this until you have almost filled the glass. Then add a swirl of squirty cream and plonk a raspberry on top of each one.
