Ice-Cream is not boring! Part 1...

Who ever says ice-cream are boring desserts? I will personally deny that as I love ice-creams, so much so that sometimes, I can finish half a tub on my own on one siting while watching the TV. And having a macha ice-cream after a Japanese meal is also a must!


Just like an Affogato... caffeine + ice-cream!

Actually there's more to ice-cream than just a scoop on its own. I learnt how to make some fabulous desserts using New Zealand Natural ice-cream on Saturday with Merkaine at a dessert workshop held at the Cooking House in Desa Sri Hartamas. It's an afternoon filled with a sugar rush & fun fun fun...



I'll prove to you that ice-cream are not boring desserts and this recipe is a great way to impress your guests at your party!


Impress your guests with this Tiramisu!

This is a non-alcoholic tiramisu dessert. All it takes is just a few ingredients and in no time, your tiramisu is completed! It's the simplest good-tasting ice-cream tiramisu that I ever made.



Ingredients:
1 pkt of sponge fingers
2 cups of Espresso coffee
2 cups of whipped cream
cocoa powder for dusting

* to make it extra yummy, I would use a good quality espresso, a dash of Bailey's Irish Cream and premium cocoa powder!



Method:
  1. Pipe whipped cream on the base of the cup.
  2. Soak the sponge finger (broke into smaller pieces) into the espresso (but not too long).
  3. Place the soaked sponge finger into the cup.
  4. Top it with a layer of NZN Cookies & Cream ice-cream.
  5. Repeat with another layer of sponge finger and ice-cream.
  6. Lastly top it with a layer of whipped cream.
  7. Dust with cocoa powder and serve!

Remember don't soak the sponge fingers in the espresso too long or else it'll become too soggy. If you under-soaked it, it'll not be the texture that you want in your tiramisu. I manage mine with two layers of ice-cream and sponge fingers.



Try making the tiramisu with this New Zealand Natural cookies & cream. The tastes does jive with the espresso and it makes a nice combination!



This is my finished product and it looks great right? After that, we all had to eat our own dessert. In total, we made 3 different types of dessert and then ended up eating everything on our own! It's like a "DIY dessert house" and that's my lunch for the day.

New Zealand Natural has been in our shores for quite sometime with a total of 25 flavours of ice-cream and some of them are even 99% fat-free. An exclusive treat from NZN is their "30% on 30th" promotion which runs on every 30th of the month. During this day, all ice-cream Take Home Packs will be given a 30% discount. So, if you come across an ice-cream craving, you know where to go!
