Serves 8-10 Prep 25 mins (plus freezing) Cook 10-12 mins
Ingredients
- 400g (14oz) vanilla ice cream 3 eggs
- 75g (3oz) caster sugar
- 75g (3oz) self-raising flour
- 4 tbsp strawberry jam, warmed Icing sugar for sifting
Method
- Lay out a large sheet of baking paper and spoon the ice cream along the middle of the paper to form a sausage shape 30cm (12in) long. Roll the paper around the ice cream and twist the ends together. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°fan/ Gas 6. Grease and line a 30 x 20cm (12 x 8in) Swiss roll tin.
In a large bowl, using an electric whisk, whisk the eggs for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and continue whisking for a further 8–10 minutes until the mixture is very pale and thick – the consistency of softly whipped cream – and at least double its original volume. - Gently fold in the flour then spread in the prepared Swiss roll tin. Bake for 10–12 minutes until well risen and firm. Turn out onto a fresh sheet of baking paper. Carefully peel off the lining paper and cut away any crisp edges with a sharp knife.
- Leave to cool slightly, then spread with the jam. Unwrap the ice cream and place on the sponge, roll up tightly and hold in position for 1 minute. Re-wrap and freeze until ready to serve.
- Sift a little icing sugar over the top before serving.
