Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 30 mins + freezing
- Line a 900g loaf or terrine tin with clingfilm. Whizz 300g of the raspberries to a purée then sieve, using a nylon sieve - metal may react with the acid in the berries. Keep the rest whole. Whip the cream and vanilla extract to very soft peaks.
- Put the sugar in a pan with 11/2 tbsp water. Heat very gently until the sugar dissolves then turn up the heat and boil for 2 minutes. Meanwhile whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks. After the syrup has boiled for 2 minutes, start to pour in a thin stream onto the egg whites, whisking all the time. Keep whisking for a couple of minutes until the meringue has cooled completely.
- Fold the meringue into the cream bit by bit. Divide the mix between 2 bowls. Add the raspberry purée to one bowl and fold it in, then chill.
- Pour the plain mixture into the bottom of the tin, then carefully push in the remaining berries. Freeze for 1 1/2 hours then take out and add the chilled raspberry flavoured mix. Freeze for at least 3 hours or until you want to serve. Take out of the freezer 20 minutes before serving.
