Neatly aligned ice cream bars and a sorbet scoop as a solemn salute for Tsar Samuel.
A dessert with neatly aligned chocolate ice cream bars on vanilla cream, topped with a sorbet scoop as the 'cannonball': a solemn salute for Tsar Samuel. The plate clearly shows a salute formation.
Ingredients
- 8 elongated chocolate ice cream bars (e.g. Magnum Mini or similar)
- 500 ml vanilla custard
- 4 scoops lemon sorbet
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios (optional for garnish)
Method
- Take the chocolate ice cream bars out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Pour a mirror of vanilla custard on each plate, about 2-3 tablespoons per plate.
- Place two ice cream bars per plate, neatly next to each other at an angle, like angled salute cannons.
- Scoop a ball of lemon sorbet and place it just in front of the tips of the ice cream bars, as the fired cannonball.
- Lightly dust with cocoa powder as a shadow under the ice cream bars.
- Optionally garnish with some chopped pistachios for color.
Serving notes
- Serve on large, white plates for a solemn effect.
- Make sure the ice cream bars are neatly in formation, like an honor guard.
- Serve immediately so the ice cream does not melt.
