Ingredients
- 300 ml (10 fl oz) Double Cream
- 1 x 397g tin condensed milk
- 3 unwaxed limes, finely zested and juiced
- 6 balls stem ginger (1 finely chopped, 5 roughly chopped)
- Pinch of salt
- 5 tbsp stem ginger syrup (from the jar)
- 5-6 tbsp Milk
- 100g dark chocolate, broken into chunks
Method
Step 1
Put the double cream, 175g of the condensed milk, zest and juice from 2 limes and roughly chopped ginger into a food processor with a pinch of salt. Whizz until the mixture thickens, then pour into a 1 litre plastic container and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Step 2
To make the sauce, warm the remaining condensed milk, finely chopped ginger, ginger syrup and milk in a pan. Add the chocolate chunks, stirring until they melt. Stir in the remaining lime zest and juice and beat until combined.
Step 3
To serve, place two scoops of ice cream in each bowl and spoon over hot chocolate sauce. It will set on the ice cream.
