■■■Tip: Ice-cream cake “Caprice” (serves approx. 6 persons) pineapple ice-cream pudding

1 loose-based cake tin, 20-22 cm in diameter greaseproof paper

1 sponge cake

4 pineapple slices

1¹ tin of mandarins mint leaves if desired

First, line the tin with greaseproof paper. Line the bottom of the tin with a round piece of paper and the sides with one long strip of paper. Put the lined tin in the freezer for about half an hour before filling it, so that the ice will not melt when it comes into contact with the tin.

To fill the tin: Slice the sponge cake into 2 layers and place one layer on the bottom of the tin. Sprinkle the bottom layer with liqueur if desired. Cover the cake with a layer of ice-cream and then place the second layer of cake on top. Cover the tin with paper. Put the cake in the freezer for about 1 hour (depending on how hard the ice cream is).

Before serving, place the serving plate in the refrigerator for a while.

You can decorate the cake as desired, with fruits and/or whipped cream.

■■■Sugar-free ice-cream

Makes 4 portions (± 400 ml)

150 cc (5 1⁄3 fl. oz.) full cream milk 30 cc (1 fl. oz.) cream

30 g (1 oz.) Sionon artificial sweetener (powdery)

1 egg

10 drops vanilla essence

Beat the egg with the milk, the artificial sweetener and the vanilla essence until frothy. Whip the cream until almost stiff. Mix the whipped cream with the rest of the ingredients. Make sure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Preparation time: approx. 30 - 40 minutes.

In this sugar-free recipe the amount of carbohydrates (= sugar and starch) per portion is so little that one portion hardly affects the blood sugar level. One portion can therefore be eaten without having to cut out anything from the diabetic diet. If Sionon is not available you may replace it by a comparable powdered sweetening agent. For a proper consistency of the ice-cream you need a powder sweetener which has a volume comparable to that of ordinary sugar. For this reason compact sweeteners (e.g. Aspartame) cannot be used for ice-cream making. Ask your chemist, pharmacist or diecition for advise. Nowadays diabetics can also eat food that has been sweetened with ordinary sugar. However, some guidelines do apply in that case. For further information, we recommend that you consult your G.P. or dietician.
