**ICE CREAM**

1 litre vanilla ice cream -- (favourite brand)

1/4 cup castor sugar

1 cup pureed strawberries

2 tablespoons ground toasted hazelnuts

**BISCUITS**

125 grams butter -- softened

125 grams castor sugar

150 grams flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon cold water -- if required

**TO ASSEMBLE THE DESSERT**

1 punnet strawberries -- hulled and sliced in half

a little icing sugar -- to sweeten the strawberries and dust the

biscuits

 

Soften the ice cream at room temperature for 5 minutes. Add the sugar, pureed

strawberries and ground hazelnuts and stir through. Refreeze the ice cream.

To your food processor add the softened butter and castor sugar. Pulse to cream

the butter and sugar for 1 minute. Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla and

egg, process to form a dough. Add the water if needed to help form a smooth

dough. Place the dough onto a floured board and shape into a cylinder 4cm

across. Wrap the dough in plastic film and chill for 1 hour.

Preheat your oven to 190 degrees C. Spread a baking tray with grease-proof

paper lightly greased with butter. From the cylinder of dough, cut slices and

bake well spaced for 10-15 minutes or until firm and lightly golden. Cool on a

wire rack. Makes 18 biscuits.

To assemble: toss the halved strawberries in a couple of tablespoons of icing

sugar. Place a vanilla biscuit on a serving plate. Top with scoops of ice

cream and sweetened strawberry halves. Finish the top with another biscuit

dusted with icing sugar.
