  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 5 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (180 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy, egg, nut

Ingredients

  • 130 g Ice cream, vanilla
  • 15 g Hazelnuts
  • 20 g Chocolate, dark
  • 15 g Cocoa powder

Method

  1. Let the vanilla ice cream soften just slightly, then fold through the roughly chopped hazelnuts.
  2. Melt two-thirds of the dark chocolate and freeze it in small blobs on a plate for about 10 minutes until firm, to make a molten centre.
  3. Scoop a ball of the ice cream, push a frozen chocolate blob into the middle, and mould the ice cream around it to enclose it completely; repeat, then freeze the balls on a tray for at least 1 hour until solid.
  4. Melt the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over the frozen balls, then immediately roll them in the cocoa powder to coat.
  5. Return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up completely.
  6. Let stand for 2-3 minutes at room temperature before serving, so the molten chocolate centre softens slightly.
