after dinner ice cream

Tuesday, June 30, 2009


These ice-cream treats are the perfect way to finish dinner. Or have after lunch. Or as a snack. Or anytime really...

Ingredients (serves 8)

  • 700ml vanilla ice-cream
  • 200g good-quality dark chocolate
  • 25g milk chocolate

Method

  1. Cover a large, flat baking tray with foil. Place small scoops of vanilla ice-cream on the tray and freeze until hard.
  2. Melt chocolates in separate bowls over pans of simmering water. Once melted, set aside to cool.
  3. Transfer ice-cream scoops to a wire rack over a baking tray and spoon the dark chocolate over each scoop; it should harden immediately.
  4. Garnish each with a little of the milk chocolate. Freeze until firm before serving.

Chocolate Pots de Crème
This dairy-free, egg-free rendition of the French favorite is every bit as rich and impressive. Served in tiny ovenproof serving cups or ramekins, these chocolate pots are really special.


Chocolate Cherry Roulade
The combination of dark chocolate and cherries is simply irresistable. This cake is rolled with a dairy-free ganache and cherry filling, then dusted with your choice of powdered sugar or cocoa powder.


Chocolate Lave Cake
These indulgent vegan desserts are one-bowl creations that are neat to make and just a little messy to eat! While the outside sets like a cake, the middle remains as a custard, for an explosion of chocolatey flavor and satisfying textures.



Chocolate Caramel
These no-bake, no-heat delights require few ingredients and little preparation. Despite their rich flavor, they are actually quite healthy, too.

These delightful cakes are a compromise between an angel food cake and a chocolate soufflé. Both light and rich, these are impressive crowd pleasers.
