Daffies Budino Di Gelato
- 1 cup icing sugar
- food coloring
- 3 eggs
- 90 g caster sugar
- 90 g flour
- 30 g caster sugar
- 30 g butter, melted
- 3 cups lemon gelato (purchased or our team would have chosen to make one with carrot juice, strawberries and avocado!)
- Mix the icing sugar with just enough water to make a runny icing.
- Put a quarter of the icing into a small bowl and color it red, another quarter into another bowl and colour green and leave the rest white.
- Spread the icing thinly on to baking paper in strips going red, white, green, white etc.
- and leave until almost set.
- (This is to represent the Italian flag but red and green next to each other goes a horrible colour so separate them with a white strip).
- Drag a fork through the strips to make wavy lines in the icing.
- Leave until the icing is dry.
- To make the sponge:.
- Preheat the oven to 250C (hot oven).
- Separate out two eggs.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the whole egg and 90g of sugar until pale.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff and add the other 30g of sugar.
- Fold the flour, egg whites and melted butter into the egg yolk mixture.
- Spread on top of the icing and bake for 5 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Turn out on to a cake rack to cool and carefully remove the baking paper.
- The icing will now be on the top of the sponge.
- Cut strips of sponge to line four rings (use cookie cutters if you don't have those cheffy ring things).
- Press into the rings with the icing side facing out.
- Fill the centre with gelato, pressing the gelato firmly into the space to fill it.
- Freeze to harden the gelato.
- Remove from the ring and present the bottom (flat) side as the top of the dessert.
- Dress up with any decorations you desire.
