Peach, strawberry and cashew nut ice cream sundae
We love a sundae - we have one year round on the menu at the restaurant, just switch up the flavours seasonally.
Here we have made a quick and easy non-churn ice cream - but you could just cut this out and add a scoop of whatever ice cream you have in the freezer. We love the combo of the peaches and strawberries (something utterly satisfying in peeling a peach) then the added salty crunch of the nuts is incredibly moreish.
For the ice cream:
2 bananas, frozen with their skins off
3 tbsp cashew nut butter
100g yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
For the sticky nuts:
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
50g cashew nuts
3 peach
250g strawberries
2 tsp elderflower cordial
200ml double cream
For the ice cream – whiz the ingredients together in your food processor and freeze. Ice cream freezes hard so will need a bit of time to soften before serving.
For the nuts:
Heat the oven to 190
Melt the honey and olive oil in a small pan, mix with the cashew nuts and place on baking parchment on a tray. Pop in the oven for about 10 minutes, take out and leave to cool.
Cut off the tops of the strawberries, and half any large ones. Place about 2 thirds into a pan and add the elderflower. Heat till the juices start to run out and simmer for about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and cool.
Place the peaches in a bowl, cover with boiling water for 1 minute. Take out and peel, the leaves should just slip off. Slice peaches and remove the stone.
Whip the cream till soft peaks.
To serve:
Place a few slices in the bottom of your glass, add the ice cream, poached strawberries, dollop of whipped cream and repeat. Finish with fresh strawberries and the nuts and a cherry if you have one!
