WINTER ICE CREAM RECIPES FROM STAR CHEF STEPHANIE MOON
The Ice Cream and Artisan Food Show 2022, 8 – 10 February at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate is delighted to announce the return of the Live Demo Kitchen, which was such a hit at the last show back in 2020. The Live Demo Kitchen is hosted by star chef Stephanie Moon.
The Show is the only UK trade event for the ice cream sector. It has been running for over 70 years and is organised by the Ice Cream Alliance – the sectors trade association. This is the first Show organised since the pandemic.
To mark the occasion, Stephanie has created two delicious ice cream recipes to help the fast-food professional showcase their creativity and demonstrate how versatile ice cream can be. Stephanie’s recipes also show that ice cream can be used in delicious dishes all through the year – not just when its hot and sunny outside.
The two recipes are:
Candied Apple Taco
A mini taco warmed with Nutella, mini marshmallows, Bramley apple and toffee apple ice cream served with baby apples and apple gel and a light dusting of cinnamon.
A Night at the Movies
A chocolate fudge ice cream “Beef Burger” with kiwi and chargrilled watermelon “Bacon” garnished with Madeira cake chips and raspberry ketchup plus a strawberry cocktail smoothie and caramel popcorn.
These two delights look delicious but are remarkably easy to make.
Method:
To make the Candied Apple Taco
MAKES FOUR
4 mini tacos.
1/4 jar of Nutella or other chocolate spread.
4 heaped tablespoons of marshmallows.
4 scoops of Rum and Raisin Ice cream- slightly flattened to allow the taco to curl.
1 tin of cocktail apples drained.
3 Bramley apples peeled and de-cored and made into apple sauce with 6 tablespoons of caster sugar (simply heat up and gently cook until the apple cooks and puree with a stick blender and place in a squeezy bottle to pipe on the tacos).
Dust with chocolate shards and cinnamon and serve hot.
To make a Night at the Movies
MAKES FOUR
You will need 4 Victoria Sandwich Burger buns brushed with apricot jam and dusted with toasted sesame seeds to look like a bun.
4 shaped and flattened chocolate ice cream burgers.
Slices of kiwi fruit.
Slices of watermelon – charred with a blow torch to give it a special flavour and more interesting texture – acts as the bacon in the burger bun!
Madeira Cake cut into chips and lightly baked in the oven at 180 degrees for 10 mins or until golden.
Raspberry coulis – take 1 punnet of raspberries & add 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar, mix together and warm in a pan then pass through a sieve to remove the excess seeds.
Serve with a strawberry smoothie made with strawberry ice cream a shot of fruity gin and milk to make into a smoothie.
