Ingredients

Chocolate Ice Cream
  • 12 egg yolks
  • 1litre cream
  • 500g chocolate buttons
Dark Chocolate Shell
  • 500g dark chocolate buds
Vanilla Bean Shortbread
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 170g butter or margarine, cut into chunks
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 50g vanilla paste

Methods and Directions

Chocolate Ice Cream
  • Heat cream. Add sugar and bring to the boil.
  • Add some cream to yolks and mix.
  • Fold all ingredients into the cream and slowly stir and thicken on stove.
  • Take off heat, add in chocolate buttons and place in fridge to cool.
  • Place mix in ice-cream maker. Churn and freeze.
Dark Chocolate Shell
  • Roll chocolate ice-cream through dark chocolate buds and place in freezer till needed.
Vanilla Bean Shortbread
  • In a bowl, combine flour and sugar. Add butter and, with your fingers, rub into the flour mixture until well combined. Stir in egg yolks until dough holds together.
  • Alternately you can blend flour, sugar, and butter in a food processor until mixture resembles fine crumbs; add yolks and vanilla paste and whirl until dough holds together.
  • With your hands, press dough firmly into a smooth ball, kneading a bit to help bind the dough. (At this point, you may wrap the dough airtight and refrigerate up to 1 week. Bring it back to room temperature before using.)
  • Use the dough and make it into sticks by rolling by hand to desired length.
  • Bake in a 150°C oven uncovered, until lightly browned, for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool.
