MERRY BERRY SUNDAE

Steps:

• Place the strawberry, huckleberry and dark cherry ice cream in a serving dish. Put the marshmallow cream in a piping bag (or spoon it straight from the jar) and top the ice cream with a mound of it. Decorate with the mixed berries and Candied Cranberries.
• Press the gingerbread people into the ice cream and marshmallow cream, then drizzle over the Green Ganache and Red Ganache. Finish decorating the sundae with the mint sprigs and a cherry on top.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
• Pour 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup of the sugar into a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 3 minutes. Stir to ensure the sugar has dissolved into the water and the result is a syrup consistency.
• Add the cranberries to the pan and stir so they are covered in the syrup. Remove the pan from the heat and stir for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cranberries from the pan and add them to the prepared sheet pan. Allow the cranberries to cool and dry, about 1 hour.
• Pour the remaining sugar into a bowl. Add the cranberries and toss until they are thoroughly coated in the sugar. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Add the candy melting wafers to a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a pan until hot but not boiling. Pour over the candy wafers and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until completely melted.

MARY BERRY'S CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• To make this chocolate cake, pre-heat the oven to 190°C/Fan 170°C/Gas 5. Grease a 23 cm (9 in) deep round cake tin then line the base with baking parchment.
• Place the egg yolks and whole egg in a large bowl with the sugar and beat together until thick and light in colour. Melt the chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Dissolve the coffee granules in the water and add to the melted chocolate. Cool slightly, then stir into the egg mixture along with the ground almonds.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Carefully fold into the egg and chocolate mixture. Turn into the prepared tin and gently level the surface.
• Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 50 minutes or until well risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out, peel off the parchment and finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Measure the apricot jam into a small saucepan and allow to melt over a low heat. Brush over the cake. To make the icing, melt the chocolate gently in a bowl set over a pan of hot water, stirring occasionally. Add the butter and stir until the icing has the consistency of thick pouring cream, cooling if necessary.
• Stand the wire rack on a baking tray to catch any drips, then pour the icing over the cake smoothing it over the top and sides with a palette knife. Allow to set, then decorate if you like. This recipe is featured in Mary Berry's Baking Bible.
