Prep: 1 hr mins
Cook: 10 mins
Serves: 8

INGREDIENTS

  • 1kg thick Greek-style yoghurt
  • 400g strawberry-flavoured thick Greek-style yoghurt
  • 395g can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 1/4 cups (790g) rice malt syrup
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 350g store-bought madeira cake, crumbled
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 500g frozen strawberries
  • 1 eggwhite
  • Strawberries, mint leaves and basil leaves, to serve

 

METHOD

  1. To make the labneh, combine the plain yoghurt and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Line a fine sieve with muslin or a clean Chux cloth and place over a bowl. Transfer yoghurt to sieve and fold up muslin to cover. Weigh yoghurt down with a plate and chill overnight to drain excess liquid.
  2. The next day, place 750g labneh in a bowl (remaining labneh will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week). Add strawberry yoghurt, condensed milk and 1 cup (350g) rice malt syrup, and whisk to combine. Cover and chill until needed.
  3. Meanwhile, grease the base and sides of a 22cm springform cake pan and line with baking paper. Place the butter and 1/4 cup (90g) rice malt syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until melted and combined. Pour into a heatproof bowl, then add the cake, zest and vanilla, and stir to combine. Transfer to prepared pan and use the back of a spoon to push down to form an even base. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
  4. Pour labneh mixture over base, using a palette knife to smooth. Freeze for 2 hours or until partially set.
  5. Place frozen strawberries, eggwhite, lemon juice and remaining 1 cup (350g) rice malt syrup in a blender and whiz until smooth and thick. Pour over labneh mixture, smoothing top, and return to the freezer. Freeze for 6 hours or until set.
  6. Remove cake from pan and top with strawberries, mint and basil to serve.
