Allergens

Milk, Eggs (in the ice cream)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz semi
  • sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 cups vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Edible silver leaf or sparkling sugar crystals for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to steam but not boil. Pour the hot cream over the finely chopped chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Gently stir until fully combined and smooth. Set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the raspberry coulis by mashing the fresh raspberries in a bowl, then strain them through a fine mesh sieve into a separate bowl. Discard the solids. In a small saucepan, combine the strained raspberry juice with sugar, cornstarch, and water. Heat gently until it forms a thick sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow it to cool.
  3. Once the chocolate ganache is completely cooled, fold in the vanilla bean ice cream using a rubber spatula. Mix well, then transfer the mixture into two serving bowls or glasses.
  4. Drizzle the cooled raspberry coulis over the top of each bowl or glass, creating a vibrant contrast to the rich chocolate and vanilla. Sprinkle edible silver leaf or sparkling sugar crystals on top for an extra touch of indulgence. Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes

Chef’s Insight

Allow the ganache and coulis to cool before assembling to prevent melting the ice cream.

Notes
