Roasted plum ice cream — full of juice, deep fruity flavour and a beautiful pastel hue. For that lovely pinkish-purple colour, it’s best to use plums with dark red flesh (though any variety will work, just with a different shade). This is a Philadelphia-style ice cream

White chocolate cheesecake

Another white chocolate cheesecake for the collection — because if not here, then where? ;). This time, I didn’t quite follow Yotam Ottolenghi’s original proportions and reduced the amount of white chocolate. Even for me, 600 g in one relatively small
