Takes 5 minutes | Serves 4 |
A refined approach to enjoying Vanilla Ice Cream with Olive Oil, tailored for four servings. This recipe is not only a delightful dessert but also a conversation starter about the wonderful versatility of olive oil in sweet dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 pint high-quality vanilla ice cream
- 4 tablespoons high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 optional toasted almonds or hazelnuts, chopped
Steps
- Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly for a few minutes for easier scooping. Then, evenly distribute the ice cream into four serving bowls or dessert plates.
- Carefully drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over each serving of ice cream. The key is to use a high-quality olive oil, as its flavor profile will significantly enhance the dessert.
- For those who enjoy a sweet and savory combination, a small pinch of sea salt can be sprinkled over the ice cream. This will not only enhance the flavors but also add a delightful contrast.
- If desired, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of toasted almonds or hazelnuts. This adds a lovely crunch and nuttiness that complements the creamy texture and rich flavors.
- Serve the dessert immediately to enjoy the contrast between the creamy, cold ice cream and the rich, fruity olive oil.
