Method
- In a heatproof bowl, mix 1 tbsp of the jam with 1 tbsp boiling water. Sieve 100g icing sugar into a separate bowl, then sieve in the watered-down cherry jam (discarding any chunks of fruit). Stir together and add 1-1½ tsp water until you have a smooth but relatively thick icing that holds its shape; set aside.
- Put the cream in a separate mixing bowl. Add 1 tbsp icing sugar, a pinch of salt and the almond extract to taste, stirring in a few drops at a time, then whisk to soft peaks.
- Halve the doughnuts and spread the icing over the tops with a teaspoon, then scatter with the almonds and freeze-dried strawberries, if you like. Spread the cut-side of the bottom halves with 1 tbsp jam each, then spoon over the almond cream. Carefully top with the iced halves to serve.
