Method

1. Put the sugar and water into a small heavy-based saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, then boil without stirring until it reaches hard ball stage, 120°C/248°F on a sugar thermometer.

2. Place the egg white in a bowl and beat until stiff, then pour on the boiling syrup in a thin stream, beating hard until the mixture cools.

3. Purée the raspberries with the jelly in a blender. Strain the raspberry purée through a sieve and stir it into the meringue mixture.

4. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and fold it into the mixture. Transfer the mixture to a freezer container and freeze until firm without further stirring.

Chef’s Tip:- Can be frozen for 6 months.
