    Ingredients

    • Sponge cake (store bought or homemade) 
    • Spiced Ganache Sauce 
    • Rum + Raisins Cream 
    • Cinnamon Cookie Crumb 
    • Cadbury Mini eggs 
    • Run soaked raisins 
    • Your choice of ice cream (I used @icecreampepitas vanilla) 

    Prep

    • Rum + Raisin Cream 
    • 90g raisins 
    • 30g spiced rum 
    • 1 Tbsp water 
    • 150ml cream 
    • 1 Tbsp biscoff spread or 20g brown sugar  
      1. About 90g raisin, a dash or 1tbsp of water in a pan on medium heat, to help plump up the raisins, then add 30g spiced rum (I used Kraken) into the pan and set alight (carefully!) to burn off the alcohol, you can skip this part and just soak the raisins directly in the rum for at least 45min. (Though the raisins will have more bite to it).
          
      2. In a bowl add your cream, infused rum, and biscoff spread. Beat until medium/stiff peak 

      3. Optional but you can fold in some of your raisins, then cover and chill in the fridge 

       

      Spiced Ganache Sauce 

      • 2:1 cream & white chocolate 
      • Allspice 
      1. In a microwave, melt your chocolate in 20-second increments  
      2. In a saucepan, warm up your cream with some allspice and turn off the heat before it boils.
      3. Pour over your white chocolate, and let it sit for a few seconds before stirring until smooth and homogenised.

      Cinnamon Cookie Crumb 

      • Shortbread 
      • Cinnamon  
      1. Crush up your shortbread, add a sprinkle of cinnamon and stir through 

       

      Assembly

      1. In a serving glass, place a layer of cookie crumb.

      2. Place a scoop of your choice of ice cream and pour over the ganache.

      3. Layer on your cake, cream, raisins and top off with your chocolate mini Easter eggs. Finish with the mini eggs and a mint sprig.

        

      4. You can skip the ice cream and layer cookie crumb, cream, cake, ganache, and repeat until the glass is full.
