Ingredients

  • 142 ml double cream 
  • tbsp powdered sugar 
  • 12  strawberries whole chopped
  • small nectarines chopped
  • scoops whipped cream 
  • scoops poached berries english (we like Bottlegreen Summer sorbet)
  • servings unrefined sunflower oil for greasing
  • 50 sugar 
  • 50 macadamia nuts toasted
  • 350 strawberries hulled
  • tbsp powdered sugar 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • sieve

Directions

  1. Make the brittle: oil a baking sheet and set aside. Gently heat the caster sugar in a small, non-stick frying pan, stirring until dissolved.
  2. Add the nuts. When the sugar becomes a deep caramel, pour onto the baking sheet and leave until completely cold. Snap the brittle into pieces, then pulse in a food processor to coarse crumbs. Can be made up to a week ahead. Store in an airtight container.
  3. For the sauce, whizz the strawberries in a food processor until smooth. Sieve into a bowl, then stir in the icing sugar. Set aside.
  4. To assemble the sundaes, whip the cream with the icing sugar until it just holds its shape. In a tall glass, layer up the chopped fruit, brittle, ice cream, sorbet and sauce, finishing with swirls of cream, more brittle and the whole strawberries.
