Gather & Feast - Recipes worth making

Here’s an easy make-ahead dessert that’s perfect for entertaining: Blackberry & Vanilla Cream Semifreddo.

It’s a refined frozen dessert that really showcases the natural flavour and vibrant colour of blackberries.

A light, airy vanilla cream is layered with a smooth, intensely flavoured blackberry sorbet, creating a clean, elegant slice with a soft, creamy texture and bright fruit finish.

Serve unmoulded onto a serving plate and topped with fresh blackberries, or simply slice or scoop directly from the tin and serve with extra blackberries on the side.

If you love fruit mince pie but don’t love fiddly little tarts, this one’s for you. Everything gets baked together in a pan for a more relaxed, rustic take on the classic.

Baking it as one large pie makes it both practical and visually striking, while the flavours develop beautifully over time.

The filling is packed with dried fruit, citrus zest and warming spices, and that crunchy sugar-dusted pastry edge is so good. Minimal effort, maximum reward.
