Pink Summer Sundae with Caramel Wafers

Variations of the sundae can be made to suit your mood and look particularly good in these shimmering cups from Le Creuset.

Ingredients (4 servings)
250 g strawberries
4 tablespoon(s) icing sugar
4 large caramel wafers (stroopwafels)
4 small caramel wafers (stroopwafels)
160 g white chocolate, melted
pink shimmering food colouring powder for garnishing
pink shimmering edible decorative pearls for garnishing
1 l berry sorbet (strawberry, raspberry, your choice)
1 l vanilla ice cream
1 l strawberry ice cream (alternatively frozen yoghurt)
  • Preheat the oven to 220 °C convection oven.
  • Clean the strawberries, spread them on a baking tray and dust generously with icing sugar. Cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes until shiny.
  • Make sure they don't collapse and lose too much liquid.
  • Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie, dip the caramel wafers in it and decorate the wafers with decorative pearls or food colouring powder. Place in the freezer and leave to cool.
  • To serve, fill four Le Creuset cups (350 ml) each with a scoop of berry sorbet, vanilla ice cream and strawberry ice cream (alternatively frozen yoghurt). Place the caramel wafers in the top of the sundae and add some roasted strawberries. If desired, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the top.

Tip:

There are no limits to your imagination. Alternatively, you can use wafer rolls or an inverted ice cream cone as a delicious decoration. You can also always conjure up new ice cream creations with different fruits and toppings.
