- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
- 250ml dessert wine

How to make our Frozen-Yoghurt Cake with Poached Strawberries:
1 To make poached strawberries, place strawberries, sugar, vanilla seeds, and wine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and simmer for 8 minutes, or until strawberries are tender and syrup thickens. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2 To make cake, place ice-cream into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 2-3 minutes, or until smooth. Add yoghurt and beat until combined. In a small bowl, whisk cream to soft peaks and fold into yoghurt mixture.
3 Line a 12-cup-capacity loaf tin with baking paper and spoon in half the yoghurt mixture.
4 Trim nougat slices to fit in one layer over yoghurt and top with remaining mixture and nougat.
5 Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate overnight. Turn the cake out onto a serving plate and top with poached strawberries. Serve immediately.
