How to prepare Michelle Evans-Fecci's Strawberry arctic roll
Prepare the ice cream
- Whisk condensed milk, cream and vanilla to soft peaks.
- Whizz strawberries in a food processor and fold into ice cream mixture.
- Roll out two pieces of cling film onto your worktop then dollop the ice cream mixture in a line a little longer than the width of the tin.
- Fold cling film around the ice cream, and wind the ends to look like a Christmas cracker. Roll back and forth on the worktop for the wrap to tighten.
- Place in freezer overnight to set.
Make the sponge
- Grease and line a 22x33cm tin. Remove ice cream from the freezer and place to one side.
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan.
- Whisk eggs and sugar until thick and light. Sift flour into the mixture and gently fold to keep the air in.
- Pour the mixture gently into the tin and level by tilting the tin from side to side making sure it reaches into the corners. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
- Leave to cool slightly, then turn out onto a large piece of greaseproof paper.
Assemble the arctic roll
- Unwrap the ice cream from the cling film and place it on the shortest end of the sponge. Use the paper to help tease the sponge around the ice cream.
- With the seam facing downwards, wrap in the paper and then some cling film and pop in the freezer for a couple of hours to harden.
- When ready to serve, place the arctic roll on a serving board. Sift a little icing sugar all over.
- Heat the jam a little to loosen and then add it to the top of the sponge encouraging it to drip in places.
- Add strawberries to the top then slice and enjoy!
