Method

1.Freeze 75g raspberries in an airtight container for 2 hours.
2.Process until finely chopped and freeze until required. In the same food processor bowl, purée 125g raspberries with icing sugar. Push through a fine sieve over a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
3.Slightly overlap two baking paper sheets to make a wider sheet. Trace a round with a 40cm bowl, then in its centre another round with a 30cm bowl for chocolate ring template.
4.Stir chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until melted. Don’t let the bowl touch the water. Using the template as a guide, drop spoonfuls of chocolate into the ring. Spread thickly and evenly with the back of a spoon to fill ring. Let it set.
5.Lift chocolate ring of paper and move to a serving board. Put macaroons and macarons around the ring. Layer with strawberries, a few cherry halves, pomegranate and raspberries.
