Total Time:PREP Less than 30 mins COOK No cooking required
Ingredients -
1 pot double cream (about 250ml/7fl oz)
1 or 2 large meringues
1 good handful blackberries, or any soft fruit works well
1 small handful shelled unsalted pistachio nuts
vanilla ice cream, to serve
icing sugar, to serve
Directions -
Whisk the double cream in a bowl. I like to do this by hand as I have complete control over it and I beat the cream until it just starts to feel heavy on my whisk - but don't over-whisk it.
Break the meringues into the cream - rough chunks are good. Scatter in the blackberries (they work perfectly with the meringue as they cut through the sweetness). To break up the smoothness of this sundae I add some pistachio nuts. Gently fold together so that the fruits burst through the cream.
