This recipe is not even a recipe it’s so easy! Winter in most countries means you are missing out on all those yummy fresh summer fruits, but don’t forget the frozen foods aisle at your local supermarket. Frozen berries can make all sorts of delicious winter treats just like this one. This dish is great for lunch or dessert and is perfect for entertaining. The tartness of the warm berries goes great with the cold ice cream and the Belgian chocolate tops it off nicely.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 litre tub of ice cream
500-750 ml (2-3 cups) frozen berries—boysenberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.
50 ml (1/4 cup) filtered water
1-100 g bar of premium milk or dark Belgian chocolate (2 to 3 pieces for each serving)

Step 1

Take frozen berries straight from the freezer and measure them into a medium saucepan with the water. Put on low heat, as you want the berries to keep their shape and not turn to mush. It should take around 3 to 4 minutes for the berries to thaw in the pot and create their own juice.

Step 2

Roll out two scoops of ice cream per person into dessert bowls. Drizzle your berry juice over each dessert bowl and top with 2 to 3 pieces of fine Belgian chocolate. Enjoy!
