Try This - Cheat's Dessert

By Jamie Oliver

4 ginger biscuits
4 blood oranges or clementines, plus the juice of 2 oranges
4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
optional: 55g/2oz caster sugar

This is a dessert which is absolutely great for getting you out of trouble at the last minute if you have friends descending on you for dinner.


Method
Smash the ginger biscuits up into crumbs using a pestle and mortar, or place them in a clean tea towel and bash with a rolling pin. Put them into a dish. Peel and slice the oranges or clementines, making sure you remove any pips. Now all you have to do to serve is put a scoop of ice cream on each plate and either sprinkle with the ginger biscuit crumbs or serve a pile of the crunchy biscuity crumbs under the ice cream, and top with some blood orange slices.

If you want to take this up a notch, bring 55g/2oz of caster sugar to the boil with 6 tablespoons of water on a medium heat until you have a golden caramel. Remove from the heat, add the juice from the extra 2 oranges and stir it in to loosen the caramel syrup slightly. Pour this over your sliced oranges so they marinate in the caramelized juices. Divide the ginger biscuit crumbs between 4 plates and top with a scoop of ice cream and some slices of caramelized orange.

This is so simple I love it!
