Iced berry
terrine
Makes 8 to 10 slices INGREDIENTS Terrine • 1 large Madeira sponge cake, or panettone • 300g each ripe strawberries, blueberries and raspberries • 2 litres vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
INGREDIENTS Topping • 250g frozen raspberries • 200g fresh or frozen blueberries • 200g sliced strawberries • 1 tablespoon icing sugar
METHOD Line a 900g loaf tin with cling film, making sure it overlaps the sides of the tin so that you can fold it over the dessert.
Place a layer of vanilla ice cream onto the base of the tin and on top of that place a few thin slices of sponge cake. Cover with a row of strawberries, and next to that a row of blueberries, and next to that a row of raspberries. Cover the berries with vanilla ice cream and continue layering as before till the loaf tin is full. Press down firmly to make sure you seal all the holes. Fold the cling film over the top. Place the tin in the freezer and freeze till really hard. Remove the terrine from the freezer 15 minutes before you want to serve it. Dip quickly into warm water and unmould it onto a platter. Top with the berries and give it a good shaking of icing sugar. TIP: For easier slicing, dip your knife in hot water. © Cooking with Jenny Morris, Sunbird Publishers 2011, Text & Images Jenny Morris 2011

THE PERFECT PREP Shaving with soap is convenient but clogs up the razor blade so create a smooth and cushioned surface over your skin for a safe and smooth razor ride with Loving Touch Teenz Invigorating Shaving Gel, R43.99 and Loving Touch Teens Hydrating Shave Creme, R31.99.
HOW TO SHAVE WITHOUT NICKS OR CUTS It is easiest when you first start shaving to sit on the edge of the bath with your legs inside the tub near the taps. Rinse your legs in warm water and apply shaving cream or gel evenly, covering the front and back of your legs. Use short smooth strokes and work up towards your knee in the direction against hair growth and lift your razor slightly above the skin between strokes to avoid cuts. Remember to rinse the razor under the tap after each stroke to get rid of the hair stuck in the razor. When you’re done rinse both legs off and apply moisturiser. Always rinse the razor thoroughly before storing it away.
