Drowned in coffee, chocolate or liqueur
One of the simplest ways to garnish ice cream, which immediately turns it into a refined and delicious dessert. All you have to do is choose a high-sided glass or cup, fill it with one or two scoops of ice cream (all flavours are fine, but ice cream made with cream is at its best in this recipe!) and then “drown” it with freshly brewed espresso coffee, a cascade of melted chocolate (milk, dark or even white), or rum, limoncello, whisky cream… A combination that’s more delicious than any other! These are our favourites:- coffee ice cream prepared with the ice cream mix base and Stickhouse ice cream paste, drowned in white chocolate
- coconut ice cream made with the ice cream mix base and Stickhouse ice cream paste, drowned in rum.
