Biscuit Ice Cream

Biscuit ice cream is a delicious and simple dessert that combines the freshness of ice cream with the crispness of biscuits. Here is how to prepare it:

Ingredients

• 500 ml of ice cream in your preferred flavor (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc.)
• 12 large flat biscuits (like Digestive or butter biscuits)
• Melted chocolate, chopped hazelnuts, or chocolate shavings for decoration (optional)

Preparation

1. Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for a few minutes to facilitate the spreading.
2. Take a biscuit and spread a generous layer of ice cream on it, then cover it with another biscuit, pressing gently to create a sandwich. Repeat the process with the remaining biscuits.
3. If desired, you can now roll the edges of the biscuit ice cream in melted chocolate, chopped hazelnuts, or chocolate shavings to decorate and add texture.
4. Place the biscuit ice creams on a tray and freeze them for at least 1-2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm again.
5. Serve directly from the freezer to enjoy them in their optimal consistency.

Curiosity

Biscuit ice cream is a much-loved form of street food in Italy, especially during the summer. In ice cream carts, they are often offered with a generous sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts or other dried fruit. Moreover, it is a practical and fun way to serve ice cream if you have guests, as each one can take their own biscuit and enjoy it without the need for plates or spoons.

Remember that you can always personalize your biscuit ice cream with various flavors of ice cream and biscuits, as well as with different toppings. Have fun and enjoy your tasting!
