Ingredients
- 5 ring doughnuts
- 400g vanilla ice cream
- 200g raspberry jam
Instructions
- Heat your barbecue to high. Slice the doughnuts in half. Place on the barbecue, outsides down – cook towards the edges of the barbecue, as this uses indirect heat so the doughnuts don’t burn.
- Barbecue for 2-3 mins until there are clear griddle lines on the outsides of the doughnuts. Use tongs to remove from the heat, place on a tray and leave to cool slightly.
- While the doughnuts are cooking, take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften for 10 mins.
- Add 2-3 small scoops of ice cream to the bottom half of each doughnut and evenly spread it around the ring. Spread each top half with a thin layer of raspberry jam and press down lightly to squeeze the ice cream to the sides. Serve immediately.
