Strawberry, Macadamia & Mango Ice Cream Terrine

January 8, 2023 by Salma Leave a Comment

This spectacular dessert is surprisingly simple, and can be prepared well ahead of time, perfect for those long, spontaneous summer days. The delicious buttery crunch of Australian macadamia nuts is intensified with a hint of honey, ginger and a gentle roasting, then swirled through vanilla ice cream. Layered with fresh seasonal summer favourites in classic pairings of strawberry and lime, and mango and passionfruit, the nutty undertones of the honey roasted macadamias bring the brightness of these fruity flavours together in perfect harmony.

This recipe is a sponsored post lovingly created for Australian Macadamias, representing and supporting Australian farmers in the production and enjoyment of the humble yet delicious macadamia nut.

Baking Notes
1) Use seasonal, good-quality produce for best results. The macadamia nuts should be fresh with a buttery crunch, while sourcing a single origin or local honey will impart a lovely unique flavour. Strawberries should be sweet and a deep shade of red. Kensington Pride, Calypso or Honey Gold mangoes that are ripe and juicy at the peak of the season will make for the most delicious sherbet.
2) Sorbets are technically dairy-free, while these sherbets have a small quantity of milk to add a hint of creaminess, pairing beautifully with the honey roasted macadamia ice cream. If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute the same quantity of a coconut milk based ice cream for the vanilla ice cream, and omit the milk from the sherbets for crisper sorbets.

Print Recipe
  • Author: Salma

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Lime Sherbet

  • 400g fresh strawberries
  • 100g caster sugar
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 200ml whole milk

Honey Roasted Macadamia Ice Cream

  • 500mL vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • 50g raw macadamias, chopped coarsely
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 5g butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Mango Passionfruit Sherbet

  • 2 large or 3 small ripe mangoes
  • 80g caster sugar
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 125ml whole milk
  • 2 passionfruit

Instructions

Strawberry Lime Sherbet

  1. Line a 10cm x 20cm (4” x 8”) loaf tin with a 1.5L capacity with baking paper, ensuring a large overhang of the paper over the sides lengthways. This will facilitate easy removal of the ice cream terrine when frozen.
  2. Wash, hull and coarsely chop strawberries, then place in food processer with lime juice, sugar, and salt and blitz to a smooth puree. Add milk and blitz again.
  3. Churn in ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions, then spoon into prepared tin, smoothing the surface with an offset palette knife. Place in freezer to set while preparing the next layer.

Honey Roasted Macadamia Ice Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and line a medium baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Place chopped macadamias in a bowl with honey, butter, ginger and salt, stirring to ensure all nuts are well coated. Spread nuts in a thin layer on baking tray, then roast for 5-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  3. Mix roasted macadamias with softened vanilla ice cream then spoon into tin, smoothing the surface with an offset palette knife. Ensure the strawberry lime sherbet has firmed up enough before placing the ice cream on top to preserve the neat layers.
  4. Return tin to freezer while preparing the next layer.

Mango Passionfruit Sherbet

  1. Peel mangoes and cut into cubes, discarding peel and seed, yielding 400-450g mango flesh.
  2. Place mango in food processer with lime juice, sugar and salt and blitz to a smooth puree. Add milk and blitz again. Cut passionfruit in half and stir the pulp through the mango puree.
  3. Churn in ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions, then spoon into tin, smoothing the surface with an offset palette knife. Place in freezer to finish setting the whole ice cream terrine, folding the baking paper over the ice cream. Cover with a small tray or wrap the tin in foil to help protect against unwanted freezer odours. Allow to freeze for 12-24 hours.

To Serve

  1. Remove the terrine from the freezer and allow 5 minutes for it to defrost ever so slightly.
  2. To release the ice cream from the tin, gently pull upwards on the baking paper. If this fails to release the ice cream, turn it upside down onto a chopping board, using a combination of gravity, a firm tap on the bottom and a squeeze or tug at the sides to facilitate removal.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut 1.5cm thick slices and transfer to individual serving plates.
  4. Serve and consume immediately, before those lovely layers melt.

Enjoy!

The intrigue of a single cake moment frozen in tim The intrigue of a single cake moment frozen in time 💕

Where swirling smoke trails whisper secret birthday wishes and salted caramel drips are forever suspended.

Where reality bleeds into art and back again.

Where a photo conjures up memories from the crevices or stirs those with joy floating right at the top. 

Where you can take a moment to just breathe and witness the beauty.

This is my little ode to you, my cake, and the joy of photography.

A little baking inspiration today for all my fello A little baking inspiration today for all my fellow fig lovers out there.

Is it just me or are figs one of the prettiest and most delicious fruits in existence? Doesn’t it look like the sun is setting right in the centre of this stunning fig? 

I love figs dearly, they come so perfectly packaged from nature. It does mean, however, they are usually devoured well before I have the chance to bake with them, let alone photograph them!

Occasionally I have a few extra that make their way into my cakes and desserts. Even then, I have a tendency to just slice them into slivers. Any extra fussing or cooking (apart from a quick brûlée for the very underripe ones), often never matches up to the flavour and beauty gifted straight from nature. 

Whether you prefer pairing them with rosewater and pistachio, blackberries, spiced pomegranate syrup, salted caramel, ricotta and honey, orange and ginger, labneh or anything in between, you can find your favourite fig recipe on the blog. Swipe for some beautiful ideas 💕

And I would love to know what’s your favourite way to enjoy the humble fig? One of these or do you have your own personal favourite? 😊

Step inside the most magical place 🌻 I had the Step inside the most magical place 🌻

I had the pleasure of attending the @kalbarsunflowers festival recently and was truly blown away by the breathtaking beauty of these majestic flowers. It’s one of those sights you think really can’t be as pretty as the pictures, but when you’re immersed in hundreds of thousands of flowers as tall as you, it really does feel like you’re walking right in the middle of a sunflower dream 😊

An amazing event that last year was the biggest fundraiser for the @cancercouncilqld!

How about you? Are you a sunflower lover? 🌻
