Irish Ice Cream and Chocolate recipe
This is our absolutely favourite dessert. And that’s not just because it’s delicious. It takes only a few minutes to make and yet it’s elegant enough to serve at your next dinner party. It’s also a wonderful finale to a romantic dinner a deux.
You can make this ahead by assembling the ice cream and the chocolate in attractive glassware and then keep them in the fridge leaving only the sauce to be added when you’re ready to serve. I use wonderful Cadbury’s chocolate for this dish but choose the chocolate of your choice, whatever you personally prefer. It’s the same with the ice cream – we like a creamy, good quality vanilla but the wonderful thing about this dessert is that you can experiment.
And experimenting with ice cream and chocolate is lot of fun 🙂
It’s good idea to keep the chocolate in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble this dish. It’s quite surprising that something that takes only a few minutes to put together tastes so very good.
Here’s the so quick and so easy recipe.
