Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten
  • free vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 6 oz dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  2. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and add to the heatproof bowl. Add coconut oil.
  3. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy.
  4. Quickly pour the melted chocolate into a flexible silicone mold or a traditional metal cake ring. Rotate and tap the mold gently to ensure an even layer of chocolate coating the entire surface.
  5. Place the mold in the freezer for 10 minutes, until the chocolate has hardened.
  6. In a separate bowl, soften the gluten free vanilla ice cream slightly. Fold in the fresh raspberries gently, being careful not to crush them.
  7. Remove the hardened chocolate from the freezer and fill it with the ice cream mixture, using a spoon or piping bag to create a mound in the center.
  8. Freeze for 3 4 hours, or until firm and ready to serve.
