Summer

A luscious portable pud that serves up a heavy dose of nostalgia and just needs finishing off with the whipped cream, syrup and toasted almonds before serving

A centrepiece get-ahead party pud with layers of Aperol spritz-soaked sponge, a prosecco mascarpone and orange curd. You can make this up to two days ahead of eating

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

Try swapping the peaches for plums or apples (use eating apples, so they maintain their shape).

You don’t need an ice cream machine to make deliciously smooth ice cream...

Layered with the flavours of summer, these dainty individual puds would be a great option for a special picnic; simply keep sealed in a coolbag until you’re ready to serve. Perfect with a glass of chilled fizz on the side
