Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (330g) caster sugar
- 2 tsp coconut essence
- 1 cup (250ml) orange juice
- 1/2 small ripe pineapple, peeled, very thinly sliced
- 2L vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1L mango sorbet, softened
- 450g Coles Madeira Cake
- 1 small mango, peeled, stoned, cut into wedges
- 2 passionfruit, halved
- 1/4 cup (10g) coconut flakes
Method
STEP 1
Lightly grease an 8cm-deep, 10cm x 20cm (base measurement) loaf pan and line with plastic wrap, allowing the sides to overhang. Place the sugar, coconut essence, orange juice and 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until the sugar dissolves. Cook for 2 mins or until the syrup thickens slightly. Add pineapple and cook for 1 min. Set aside to cool.
STEP 2
Strain the pineapple mixture into a bowl, reserving the syrup. Arrange the pineapple slices over the base and sides of the prepared pan, overlapping slightly. Place in the freezer for 10 mins to chill.
STEP 3
Spoon ice cream over pineapple in the loaf pan and smooth the surface. Place in the freezer for 1 hour or until firm. Spoon sorbet over the ice cream and smooth the surface. Freeze for 1 hour.
STEP 4
Trim edges of the Madeira cake and cut lengthways into three 1.5cm-thick slices. Arrange cake slices over the sorbet, trimming to fit. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 4 hours or until frozen.
STEP 5
Remove plastic wrap and invert the cake onto a serving platter. Top with the mango, passionfruit pulp and coconut flakes. Serve with the reserved syrup.
