STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE ICE CREAM CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch square glass baking dish with plastic wrap.
• Trim the ends off of the pound cake, then slice crosswise into 8 1-inch-thick slices.
• Arrange the pound cake slices tightly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• One at a time, place a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar on top of the pound cake layer, then remove the stick. Freeze for about 3 hours.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the melted butter, freeze-dried strawberries, and shortbread cookies. It should resemble the cookie coating from the outside of the strawberry shortcake bars.
• Remove the baking dish from the freezer. Spread the whipped topping over the strawberry shortcake bar layer, then sprinkle generously with the cookie crumble. (Alternatively, to cover the entire cake, lift the plastic wrap to remove the cake from the baking dish and set on a small baking sheet. Cover the top and sides with double the amount of whipped topping and cookie crumble.) Freeze overnight.
• When ready to serve, use the plastic wrap to remove the ice cream cake from the pan. Place on a cutting board and remove the plastic. Cut into 8-10 pieces and serve immediately.

PRALINE MERINGUE CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1, and line two flat baking sheets with baking parchment. Whizz about two-thirds of the toasted almonds in a food processor until chopped. Don't let them start to look greasy or clump together - they should still be in pieces rather than ground. Roughly chop the remaining third with a knife.
• Stir the sugars together. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff, then add the sugar in three batches, beating the mixture back to stiff after each addition. Add the cornflour and vinegar, and keep going until the meringue mixture is glossy and so stiff that the beaters begin to feel heavy when stirring - this can take up to 5 mins.
• Quickly fold in all of the finely chopped nuts and most of the roughly chopped with a spatula, then divide the mixture between the two baking sheets. Spread both into 20cm circles, then scatter the remaining chopped nuts over. Bake for 1 hr, then turn the oven off and leave the meringues inside to cool for at least 1 hr. Leave the oven door closed (this will help to prevent them cracking). Will keep overnight in an airtight container, or freeze, wrapped in cling film, for up to 1 month.
• For the strawberry sauce, purée 600g of the strawberries in a food processor or blender. Press through a sieve to remove the seeds, then sweeten with 2 tbsp of the icing sugar. Can be made up to 1 day ahead. Sieve the remaining icing sugar into the double cream, whip until it just holds its shape, then carefully swirl through two-thirds of the sauce.
• To serve, slide one of the meringues off its baking parchment onto a serving plate, then spread over half the cream. Place the second meringue on top, pile over the rest of the cream and top with the remaining strawberries. Dust with a little more icing sugar if you like, and serve the leftover strawberry sauce alongside.
