Christmas Icecream Torte

[meganjane]

This turned out beautifully! It's on Tenina's site hereand also a modified version is in this year's calendar.

The recipe is for a 13cm spring form tin. I have one double that size, so I doubled the recipe and it worked really well. The only thing I added differently was Cadbury's Turkish Delight because I can't buy normal Turkish Delight anywhere here and I also didn't have any rosewater. Oh, I did add a bit of soft butter to the shortbread. I used Arnotts Scotch Shortbread.
Also, I didn't double the sugar, but used 100g.

It must have been nice because DH had two helpings! I had a mouthful to try it, but I'm not really into desserts. It had a lovely texture and wasn't too sweet.

This is definitely one I'll use for dinner parties.

Thanks MJ - good to hear that double the quantity works well - Tenina did say she was trying it for the 23cm tins.

Thanks MJ. I did make it and comment on it but obviously didn't do a review. We liked it too. I didn't add any butter to the base, it didn't seem too crumbly. I'll definitely be making it again, but this time I'll cut the grapes a little smaller.

I've made this a couple of times now. The first time I followed the recipe (even made the Turkish delight !!) and everyone loved it. The second time I used 2 Peppermint crisp bars instead of Turkish delight and that was nice as well.

Ooh, Peppermint Crisp would be lovely. My recipe used craisins as it was from Tenina's site. The one in the calender is slightly different, more 'healthy', Tenina said.
I would also use frozen cherries instead if I made it again.
