What you'll need:

- A selection of fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries – get creative!)
- Zyliss Ice Cream Scoop
- Zyliss Rasp Grater
- Zyliss 1.05L Glass Container
Instructions:
- Prepare the Clementine Zest: A simple and effective tip from us is to freeze whole peeled clementines and use them to add a refreshing zest to chocolate ice-cream. Once frozen, using your Zyliss Rasp Grater, carefully zest the clementines. The fine grating action of the Zyliss grater ensures you get the fragrant zest without the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside. You can also segment the peeled clementines for a refreshing addition to the dessert.
- Scoop the Ice Cream: Using your Zyliss Ice Cream Scoop, create beautiful, even scoops of chocolate ice cream. The ergonomic design of the scoop makes it easy to create perfect portions every time. Arrange the scoops in your Zyliss 1.05L Glass Container. The clear glass not only looks elegant but also showcases the beautiful layers of your dessert.
- Add the Berries: Wash and prepare your chosen berries. Slice larger berries like strawberries, and leave smaller berries like raspberries and blueberries whole. Arrange the berries attractively around the ice cream scoops in the glass container.
- Garnish with Clementine Zest: Sprinkle the freshly grated clementine zest generously over the ice cream and berries. The vibrant orange zest adds a pop of colour and a burst of citrusy aroma that complements the chocolate and berries perfectly.
- Serve & Enjoy! Your beautiful and delicious Valentine's dessert is ready! Either serve immediately or keep in the freezer to serve later or another day.
Tips & Variations:
- Add a drizzle: A drizzle of chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or even a little honey can add an extra touch of indulgence.
- Get creative with the berries: Use any berries you like, or even add some chopped nuts for texture.
- Make it a sundae: Layer the ice cream, berries, and clementine zest in individual glasses for a personalized sundae experience.
- Infuse the zest: For an even more intense clementine flavour, you can infuse the zest in a little cream for a few hours before adding it to the dessert.
- Presentation matters: The Zyliss glass container adds a touch of elegance, but you can also use other serving dishes or even individual bowls for a more casual presentation.
