Knickerbocker Glory
Serves 4
Many different flavours of ice-cream, fruit, meringue and jelly can be used to make a
Knickerbocker glory. To serve, always try to use a tall sundae-style glass with a long
handled spoon—perfect for reaching those delicious flavours at the bottom.
• Two jellies of your choice (strawberry and orange work well).
• 1 small tin of fruit cocktail or peaches in fruit juice
• 1 punnet of fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries or blueberries)
•
Ice-cream of your choice
•
200ml of double cream
Sundae toppings (these can be any of the following or a combination of your favourite)
• Grated chocolate, fruit sauce, chopped nuts, fudge/chocolate chips,fresh
berries,sugar sprinkles etc)
1. Make up the jelly in advance. This can be done the day before. To make two
Knickerbocker glories, only half of each jelly is required, so ideally just use half a
packet of each. For an extra fruity flavour add a splash of your favourite fruit juice to
the water when preparing the jellies. Alternatively use the juice from the tinned fruit.
Place the jellies in 2 separate bowls and chill to set.
2. Using the blender whip up the double cream transfer into a suitable container and set
aside in a refrigerator.
3. Once the jellies have set, cut into chunks and place into the blending jug, using one
of the flavours at a time to keep them separate. Process till chopped into small dice.
Repeat with the other flavour.
4. Assemble your Knickerbocker Glory to serve immediately,
5. Place a small amount of the fruit into the bottom of the glass, top with a layer of jelly,
add a couple of scoops of your chosen ice-cream.
6. Repeat again until the dessert is almost at the top of the glass.
7.
Pipe or spoon the whipped cream on top and decorate with your preferred toppings.
8. Place the spoon into the side of the glass and serve.
For a quick and easy berry coulis to use in your dessert why not blend 200g strawberries
or a combination of raspberries and strawberries together in your blender with 2 tbsp icing
sugar. Blitz until smooth. Strain through a sieve to remove the pips, adjust the sweetness
if required and chill until ready to use.
