Summer

The barbecue isn’t just for savoury treats – spoil guests with these doughnuts filled with boozy pineapple and creamy coconut ice cream

The little hit of confit lemon hiding under the creamy cheesecake mix adds a welcome touch of tartness to this decadent dessert

This favourite regional recipe is similar to a French clafoutis, but with a spongier texture

No fancy machine is required for this deliciously smooth ice cream! Flavour it any way you like – chocolate chips, a fruity ripple, rum-soaked raisins, salted caramel... the choice is yours

Ice cream sandwiches are the perfect handheld treat for summer. Fill with any flavour ice cream or jazz up the cookies with chocolate chips or nuts

A five-ingredient pudding that takes only minutes to assemble, but the end result is so much more than the sum of its parts. Summery yet indulgent, the amaretti cream works just as well with peaches, nectarines or figs

If you can’t get hold of plantain, bananas work just as well here

Part ice cream, part cheesecake? Don’t mind if we do. This is a great little prep-ahead number for all of your summer entertaining needs. Simply remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. You can play with the fruit; blackberries, cherries or strawberries would all ripple well here

Inspired by the ice cream van favourite, this cake is made of thin layers of chocolate sponge topped with ice cream and chocolate Flakes - a sliceable version of the nostalgic British summertime treat
