Dame Ruby

level 1

A bold, new version of the classic Belgian dame blanche (vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate sauce), this recipe combines ruby ice cream and ruby chocolate sauce. The base of dark chocolate sponge gives the taste a solid body, whereas the ice cream and sauce add lightness and fruit, sour notes. The new must for every dessert menu in brasseries, casual restaurants and dessert parlours.
