Berry Filled Ice Cream Dessert

This recipe could be one of the tastiest and most effortless desserts you will ever come across. The flavor of the berries in the ice cream goes so well with the chocolate ganache covering the cake, making a delicious, refreshing dessert. Since the main ingredient of this dessert is ice cream, it needs to stay in the freezer overnight or for 6-8 hours prior to serving. But it is perfect to make head of time as it can be stored in the freezer for a long time.
Serves:
6-8 people
Preparation time:
25 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 1 liter tub of vanilla ice cream or your favorite fruity ice cream flavor.
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries.
- 1/2 cup fresh berries.
- 1/2 cup double cream.
- 1 cup dark chocolate.
-2 tbsp blackberry jam (or any other berry jam)
- Few mint leaves to garnish
-You will also need a cake/loaf tin (i used a heart shaped cake tin), as well as some cling film.
Method:
Leave your ice cream tub outside for 15 minutes, or until it becomes softer and easy to work with, mix your frozen berries with the jam, then line your tin with cling film , note that your cling film must be long enough to overlay the ice cream when you want to put it back into the freezer. And then start scooping out some ice cream, level it out, add some of the berry jam mixture, and repeat to create layers, make sure that the last layer is  ice cream layer. When you are done, cover the ice cream with the cling film and leave it in the freezer for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Before serving, make your chocolate ganache by placing the double cream in a sauce pan over low heat, before the cream boils, put in your dark chocolate and turn off the heat, mix the dark chocolate through until its well combined. Take your ice cream out of the freezer, peel off the cling film and place your ice cream onto your serving plate, pour your chocolate ganache on top and before it sets, arrange your fresh berries on top, chop up your mint leaves and use them as a garnish. Heat your knife to be able to cut into the dessert, and finally, enjoy your dessert!
