Ingredients

  • 500 ml good quality vanilla ice cream
  • 1 large Swiss roll
  • 4–5 tbsp good quality strawberry jam
  • Fresh fruit, to serve
  • Chocolate sauce, to serve
  • Cream, to serve

Method

  1. Let the vanilla ice cream soften just enough to shape. Place it on a large sheet of cling film, form it into a cylinder, wrap it securely and freeze until firm.
  2. Unroll the Swiss roll carefully and spread the strawberry jam over its inner surface.
  3. Unwrap the frozen ice-cream cylinder, place it on the cake and roll the sponge around it. Wrap and return the roll to the freezer.
  4. Transfer the roll to the refrigerator shortly before serving so it softens enough to slice safely. Serve with fruit, chocolate sauce and cream.
