Indulgent cassata: Nuts, glace fruit, and chocolate in rich ice cream.
Ingredients:
1L low-fat vanilla ice-cream
50g (1/3 cup) finely choppedpistachio nuts
10.00 gm cocoa powder
85g (1/3 cup) finely choppedglace fruit (like apricots, pineapple and peaches)
Instructions:
Cover the 7.5 x 25cm pan with plastic wrap, ensuring to wet the pan first for the plastic to adhere easily.
Split the ice-cream between 2 bowls. Combine the nuts in one bowl and gently stir. Transfer mixture to a lined pan, ensuring a smooth surface.
Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the second bowl of ice cream and top with glacé fruit. Mix until fully incorporated; this portion will have a softer texture due to more stirring. Pour over the pistachio mixture and lightly tap the pan on the counter to even it out.
Wrap the dish tightly with plastic wrap and let it chill in the freezer overnight.
Presentation is key. Flip the dessert onto a cold plate, remove the plastic carefully, and slice into 16 even pieces using a sharp knife. Enjoy promptly.
