Ice Cream Florentines with a Raspberry Coulis

A very easy dessert to prepare that relies on only 3 ingredients. Most supermarkets sell raspberry coulis in jars in the refrigerator section but if you can't find it you can purchase canned raspberries and puree them with a little of their syrup. You can vary the flavour of the ice cream according to your taste.

Prep: 5-10 minutes

Ingredients

Ice Cream Florentines

8 Florentine or brandy snap biscuits or a similar flat biscuit
100g strawberry ice cream
100g vanilla ice cream
4 tsp of canned raspberries preferably in fruit juice (if you have been unable to purchase raspberry coulis, puree the remaining raspberries for coulis)

To Serve

3 tbps raspberry coulis
icing sugar
1 love heart stencil (cut a love heart shape from paper so that it fits on the biscuits), optional

Method

Ice Cream Florentines: Remove the ice-cream from the freezer a few minutes before preparing. Place a generous scoop of strawberry ice cream on one Florentine biscuit, flatten out the ice-cream and place a teaspoon of the raspberries on it, then place another biscuit on top, sandwiching the ice cream in, smooth the sides with a knife. Make one more strawberry ice-cream sandwich then two vanilla, so that you have 2 strawberry and 2 vanilla ice cream Florentines. Wrap them in cling film and place them in the freezer to set for 10 minutes or until you are ready to serve them.
To Serve: Place one vanilla ice cream Florentine in the centre of each plate. Place the love heart stencil on each of the strawberry ice-cream sandwiches and dust with icing sugar (optional). Lean the strawberry ice cream Florentine against the vanilla ones. Drizzle the raspberry coulis around the plates and serve.
