Notes
·
This ice-cream recipes is also beautiful spiced
up by adding a tablespoon (or to taste) cold strained strong chai tea at the coconut
milk blending stage.
·
This chocolate sauce will harden when made ahead;
warm it slightly in a saucepan just before serving for ease of use.
Toddler Tips
·
This is a fantastic sweet dessert for kids
without all the preservatives and additives in many sweet treats.
·
The chocolate sauce will harden over cold
ice-cream after a couple of minutes which is very appealing to kids.
