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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
The raspberry coulis can be prepared up to three days in advance.
