This prep-ahead cranberry and amaretto terrine is the perfect festive pud when you want minimum fuss on the big day

No-churn ice cream is an excellent alternative to a classic recipe, saving time on making a custard and churning. Here, it’s combined with a good glug of amaretto and layered up with a tangy cranberry sorbet and almond biscuit crumb for a sensational dessert.

For a summer spin on this dessert, switch the cranberries to strawberries, use lemon juice instead of orange, remove the amaretto from the ice cream and use shortbread biscuits in the base.
