Spicy asian ice cream

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
15 minutes
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 100-200 g white chocolate, melted
  • 4 banana leaves (optional)
  • Mint leaves, to scatter
  • Caster sugar, to dust
  • 2 x 175 ml frozen fruit-flavoured yoghurts (try guava)
  • 2 t dried chilli flakes
  • 8 stalks lemongrass, trimmed

Method

Spread the melted chocolate onto a greased baking sheet. Leave to set slightly.
Using a sharp knife, scrape shavings of chocolate. Pile the shavings onto the banana leaves, if using, or plates, and chill.
Dip wet mint leaves in the caster sugar, then chill.
Unmould or scoop the yoghurt onto the chocolate shavings, then sprinkle with chilli flakes and mint leaves.
Place a pair of lemongrass stalks on the side to use as chopsticks!
