Description

This speedy ginger ice cream with chilli-chocolate sauce is a delightful dessert that combines the warming spice of stem ginger with creamy vanilla ice cream, topped with a rich, spicy chocolate sauce. The zing of chilli flakes in the sauce perfectly complements the sweet and spicy ginger-infused ice cream, creating a beautifully balanced and indulgent treat that can be prepared ahead of time for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale

Ginger Ice Cream

  • 75g stem ginger, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp syrup from the ginger
  • 1 litre tub vanilla ice cream, softened

Chilli-Chocolate Sauce

  • 300g dark chocolate, chopped
  • Pinch chilli flakes
  • 200ml whole milk
  • 100ml double cream
  • 25g golden caster sugar

To Serve (optional)

  • Ice cream cones

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ginger Ice Cream: Stir the finely chopped stem ginger and its syrup thoroughly through the softened vanilla ice cream until well combined. This infuses the ice cream with a warm, spicy-sweet ginger flavor.
  2. Freeze the Ice Cream: Return the ginger-ice cream mixture to the freezer and allow it to firm up for at least 1 hour, ensuring it is nicely set before serving.
  3. Make the Chilli-Chocolate Sauce: Place the chopped dark chocolate and a pinch of chilli flakes into a large heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, bring the whole milk, double cream, and golden caster sugar to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Combine Sauce Ingredients: Remove the milk mixture from the heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate and chilli in the bowl. Allow it to stand for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is completely melted, creating a rich, spicy sauce.
  5. Serve: Spoon warm chilli-chocolate sauce over scoops of the ginger ice cream. Serve immediately, optionally with cones for a fun presentation.

Notes

  • You can prepare the ginger ice cream up to two days in advance; store it in the freezer to maintain freshness.
  • The chilli-chocolate sauce can be made the day before and gently warmed in the microwave just before serving.
  • Adjust the amount of chilli flakes according to your heat preference to make the sauce milder or spicier.
  • Using softened ice cream helps to evenly mix in the stem ginger and syrup for better flavor distribution.
