Ice Cream with Assorted Coatings
Photography by Manja Wachsmuth.
It would be hard to call this a recipe; it’s more of a line-up of ideas for rolling your favourite ice-cream in. There’s bound to be one to suit every member of the family. I find it easiest to place each ingredient in a plastic bag and roughly crush with a rolling pin. Transfer to a tray or large platter and roll away!
INGREDIENTS
vanilla or your favourite flavoured ice cream
Coating suggestions
chocolate-coated nuts and roasted coffee beans
roasted nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts and macadamias
