We see your regular old vanilla slice and raise you an Il Gelato Vanilla Slice.
This ain’t your Grandad’s vanilla slice; this one has brownies, chocolate and gelato!
Ingredients
- A tub of Madagascan Vanilla Bean Gelato
- A slab of pre-prepared brownie
- Instant set chocolate
- Cocoa (for dusting)
Preparation Time
This recipe will take roughly 5 minutes and requires you to work at pace to avoid our precious gelato melting.
Method
- Get a bread tray or similar sized tray and pop it in the freezer so that it is pre-chilled before doing anything else.
- Once the tray is sufficiently cooled take it out and cut the brownie slab to fit the tin snugly (do this before you get the gelato out of the freezer)*
- Grab the tub of gelato and working quickly scoop out enough to cover the brownie, and spread flat with a spatula.
- Pour a thin layer of instant set chocolate sauce and leave to set.
- Scoop another layer of gelato onto the now set chocolate.
- Pour another thin layer of chocolate and leave to set.
- Scoop a third and final layer of gelato onto the now set chocolate.
- Dust your creation with cocoa like it is fresh snow falling gently onto the peak of a mighty mountain in a far off land.
- Enjoy!
*Handy Tip – You can eat the vanilla slice straight out of the tray (like we did lol) or you can serve it on a fancy plate. To do this simply line the tray with lightly oiled backing paper so that it can be inverted or removed once complete.
